Day 97, 98 - Pahrump and Fallon, NV

Tuesday (97) - Kind of a long driving day (512 miles) since I wanted to not go through Phoenix during the morning rush hour but we ended up going through Las Vegas rush hour. The generator and air conditioners were run from about 11am until after 5. But it never went above the mid-90s. The picture is a rest area along hwy 95 shortly after we entered Nevada. We are at the Nevada Treasure RV Resort and it lives up to the label “Resort”. Huge fitness room, sauna, jacuzzi, massage therapist on staff… Of course, all of this is shut down.

Wednesday (98) - Today was a relatively modest 340 miles with two stops for diesel. The first was at place sort of in the middle of nowhere called Area 51, and diesel was $2.999/gal. So I only got $100 which was enough to get us to Fallon. There was another small station called Golden Gate Petroleum but they are part of the TSD Logistics fuel card program and their price was $2.079. The fuel gauge said 14% but I could only get 76 gallons into the 100 gallon tank. On this RV, you get a low fuel warning when you are down to 24%.

Today, we are staying at Lattin Farms in Fallon, NV. They have a large parking lot which was nice and flat. We picked up some fresh asparagus for dinner as well as some fabulous sweet potato pecan butter. It is fabulous. Thanksgiving in a bottle! Farms are one of our favorite places to stay with Harvest Hosts.

When I was filling up in Fallon, I noticed that one of the turn signal lenses was loose. It looks like it has been repaired before using caulk. I scraped out some of the caulk and glued it with 5-min epoxy. I’ll remove the light fixture completely in Pendleton and seal all the way around the lens. It’s always something...
