Cal Nev Ari RV Park Cal Nev Ari, Nevada

It was 43 degrees with 15mph winds this morning when I set out for my walk.  Sometimes you just have to make yourself do it!  I walked down to the school and around the perimeter and then back to the campground and still had barely done one mile.  I walked to the main street and walked in circles around the little Catholic Church.  I did 8 laps and finally had my three miles.

We traveled on Route 15 East.  We stopped for a short break near Eddie World.  We didn’t go in but I looked it up.  It is a huge candy store that also sells pizza and ice cream.

Our scenery today looked like this.

We turned off of 15 onto Joshua Tree Highway.  Joshua trees live in the Mojave Desert and we were now on the northeastern edge of the preserve.  Here we crossed into Nevada.  We were waiting to fill the RV with diesel until we crossed the California line.  $3.11…that’s a huge improvement!

Cal Nev Ari is a little town with a population of about 200. There is an RV park, a casino (closed because of COVID) and a post office. It is in the southermost tip of Nevada and three states come together here.

We got settled at the RV park and then went for a Jeep drive on a dirt road.  We were hoping to drive around in the mountains and find a nice tent camping site for tomorrow.  It was further than it looked.  We drove 9 miles across the desert before we began to gain altitude.  The view was pretty but we never did find what we were looking for!

We have lots of time to explore tomorrow! We do plan to go tent camping somewhere tomorrow evening. We will post as soon as we can on Monday!
