Mileage: 59,904 Wine Ridge RV Resort Pahrump, Nevada
Today we had planned to go to town. Our Jeep has a leak in the front differential which we want to have checked before we do anymore off-road activity and I needed a new phone. Pahrump, Nevada was the closest town with a Jeep dealer and an AT&T store. We drove a little over an hour today and we were here before noon. It was a nice drive!
We spent the day doing chores and bills and other mundane but necessary things. It is important for us to group all our errands and be thoughtful about what we need because things are further apart out here!
I started the laundry and left for the phone store. It took 3 hours but I have a working phone…YAY!!! Sharing a phone is hard even on a very good relationship. You just don’t realize how much you use it, need it, depend on it until you need to share it!
I went back to get Tim and we went to Walmart together.
Then the grocery store.
The grocery sold beer, and wine, and liquor. There was a small casino in the store near the cash registers. We are in Nevada now!
We saw a BBQ place on the way in and that was dinner.
Our appointment for the Jeep is early tomorrow morning. Hopefully it is a simple thing and won’t take too long to repair. We only have a campsite for one more night. There is a Baker to Las Vegas marathon that runs through here this weekend and they expect the place to be mobbed.
120 miles of pavement, 20 stages, over 8,000 runners, guests, family members, and support staff. Hot days and cold nights. Blood. Sweat. Pride. Honor…..
That’s what the world’s most prestigious and unique law enforcement foot race is all about. Starting in Baker, California and ending in Las Vegas, Nevada, law enforcement officers from around the globe battle it out every Spring for the chance of winning the coveted cup trophy.
