Tuesday, November 5, 2013 (Bordertown, NV)

We woke to partly sunny skies this morning.  Actually we had a beautiful sunrise over the mountains this morning.  We had our breakfast and then got into the packing up the 5er mode.  We are getting this routine down, though I am glad that we normally don't travel every day.  Right now we are spending several days traveling each day so we can get down to warmer weather and then we will go back to our routine of staying put for a couple of days in each spot. 

I have developed a very bad habit of not screwing the lids of containers on tight and I did it again this morning.  I had filled our water bottles and as we were loading up the truck, I knocked one over on the counter in the 5er and over it went and water went everywhere.  What a mess I had to clean up, hopefully this will teach me a lesson.  After I got my mess cleaned up we were ready to head out.  Today our travel day was between 2.5 - 3 hours, perfect in my book.

We had an uneventful and safe drive to our destination but saw some very unsafe drivers between Susanville, CA & Bordertown, NV.  We saw two separate instances where cars passed us and barely had time to get back in their lane before hitting the oncoming traffic.  The cars in the oncoming lanes had to veer over to the shoulder to avoid a crash.  It's not like we are crawling along, we were traveling at 60 mph.  I think they must have problems in this area because this was a designated daylight headlights use area. 

We got to our RV park around 1:00 p.m. and are in another state, Nevada, today.  The sunshine was very welcome though it is not all that warm, in the low to mid 50's.  After we got the 5er set up, I did sit outside in the sunshine reading for awhile, it sure felt good.

Bordertown RV Park, Bordertown, NV

We did take Gracie for a little walk around the park and checked out the other rv's that are staying here.  It is always fun to see what models and types of rv's are in each park and what states they are registered in. 

When we checked in, we got the obligatory free drink coupons at the casino here on the grounds, so we decided to check it out.  Why do casino's have to be so smoky?  I guess I'm glad they are, that way we are not tempted to spend very much time in them, not that I would be anyway.  Rich and I are not real big into gambling, though we did put a couple dollars in the penny slot machines.  Needless to say, we didn't win big.  =)  After about 30 minutes, we'd had our fill and headed back to the 5er.

Today my mom turned 73 years old, so I called her after dinner and had a nice long chat.  The rest of the evening I spent catching our blog up to date and now it is off to bed as tomorrow is another travel day.
