Driving to Reno

Day 22 – Sunday

We have decided to power drive to Reno from the North Rim of Grand Canyon.  The kids chose to stop at McDonald’s for breakfast (haven't seen one in a long while) and it turns out that after 3000 miles of driving your RV also needs more oil.  We drove through Nevada and saw maybe four cars in as many hours. There are parts of Nevada where you could die and no one would know for days. The only change in landscape was UFO graffiti and a dead bloated cow on the side of the road.  

Jason wanted to push on to Klamath Falls, but after 11 or 12 hours in the RV, I demanded to be let out.  The kids were doing surprisingly well and we decided it was because they realized that we weren’t going to make them hike.  I chose a place with full hook-ups, Wi-Fi, level parking pads, free showers, pool, and all the works, in Sparks, NV.  I even found a new magazine!!  I used a hair dryer for the first time in 20 days, so I feel better, but still have lop-sided hair.

I'm sitting at a picnic table typing this and really don't want to get back in the RV to sleep.
