August 30, 2022 Nevada Brown - Ice cream problem solved

August 30, 2022  Heading to the Nevada Brown

MEOWT!  My human took me to the grassy area for a while.  Then she brought me back.  I refused to walk and when she picked me up I made sure to whine out loud so other humans might rescue me.  She put me in the little house that moves.  I saw her touching another feline…  I jumped out the window and chased it away.  When my human came after me, I ran under a really big house that moves, and laid right in the middle where nobody could get me.  Ha Ha!

My morning walk had a bit of a little twist to it.  It is a weekday and the scent of the candle factory gently escorted me all around.  It was really quite nice!  And the ducks were just chattering up a storm!  People use rental scooters quite a bit here.  They go where they need to then just leave the scooter whereever.



Time to get Hannah ready to move again.  While spouse was draining the tanks, I took Rudy to the park.  He has cabin fever and just sits at the door waiting for us to leash him up.  I let him roam, then decided to take him back to help get ready.  Sometimes, he can really whine when he doesn’t want to be moved.  I stuck him in the truck.  The windows were open and we wouldn’t be long.  I saw another kitty and he let me pet him.  When he crouched, I knew Rudy must have escaped and sure enough, he was coming to check out the new kitty.  New kitty took off.  Rudy ran under the neighbors enormous rig and laid down right in the middle.  I got long poles, then longer ones before I was able to get him out from under.  He is sooo  grounded…

Spouse was a little sluggish in moving and we didn’t get on the road until almost 11.  South on I15 for about 25 miles, then back on the back roads to hwy 6.  Western Utah is desert.  There are lots of rolling desert hills, some farms and some amount of diverse terrain to keep it interesting.  Once we leave the town of Delta, the long flat desert floor stretches as far as the eye can see.  BORING!  There are gazillions of off road trails here (I am thinking it is more of the same only dirtier).  As we get near Great Basin, the mountains form a small pass for a minute, then we take the Baker shortcut to the town of Baker.

This is ugly desert down here at the base of Great Basin National Park.  The park itself is beautiful, we have been here before.  It goes up to high elevation and has a stunning bristlecone forest at the top.  It is also home to the Lehman Caverns, some of the most pristine caverns in the world, as well as being a premier stargazing venue.   It is definitely worth a trip once… 

But twice?  Don’t know if we are going to do it again.  We didn’t even try to get into the park with Hannah.  We stopped at the base at an RV park I likened to the Bates Motel.  It isn’t pretty, but it has electricity.  IT is hot outside, we are tired.  This was the easy way out.

Arty is getting a new black tank.  He won’t be ready for 3 weeks, which should work out perfectly for us… I hope…  It isn’t ours until the money changes hands…
