From Battle Mountain, NV, N42°34.178’ W113°43.548’

Day 98

We left Heyburn, ID at about 9:20 and crossed over into Nevada about two Hours later. A lot of people we know don’t like Nevada, but it feels good to be back. Even if it’s only for a few days before we head to central California.

It rained most of the morning and afternoon. We got to the RV Park in Carlin only to find that the park wasn’t suitable even for an overnight stop.

We had lunch at a local Burger King. Between the rain, gunk flying up from the road and driving through a mud lot to get around the Burger King, I don’t think I have ever seen the coach or Jeep so dirty.

I called ahead to the Broadway Flying J Service Center and RV Park in Battle Mountain and made sure they could accommodate us. This park got poor reviews on RVreviews.com. As it worked out it was adequate for an overnight stay.

After setting up, by about 3:15 PST, I down loaded several local caches. I found eight before it got too dark and cold to hunt.

Gerri fixed enchiladas for supper, very good.

We plan to be in Reno tomorrow for a weekend visit with our daughter and grandkids.
