Lazy Days

It has been pretty quiet in Furnace Creek so to keep us occupied with something other than golf we decided to drive to Pahrump, Nevada for a new RV battery….yes, on the coldest morning we wake up to find a dead battery in the system. No furnace means no heat!

Pahrump is an hour’s drive from here and it is the nearest town that would have a battery. We decided to kill two birds and took our laundry along. While Fred hunted for the battery I washed the laundry along with every homeless person in Pahrump. They must use this place as a warm up spot and I know they use the bathroom…evidence everywhere. Next time I will look for the battery and Fred can do the laundry! As if we will ever be back to this place.

Gas is more than a dollar cheaper per gallon in Nevada than California so that was also on the list…this truck is no Prius! The fills are very costly.

We stopped for a few groceries and were home four hours after we left. A worthwhile trip, but also an eyeopener.

Tonight we have a friend joining us for a few days, taking a break on his way to Yuma. Golfing and sightseeing will be on the agenda as Gord has never been here before.
