We departed Lone Pine, California, yesterday, our last day in that great state. Our first day there was Sept. 3, so we were a day short of four weeks. Redwoods, Sequoias, ocean views, San Fran, Yosemite, Carmel, San Simeon, Kings Canyon and Death Valley. And we didn't hit the southern portions from LA down. It's a beautiful place. Politically, it's a lot like Jersey: rural areas are conservative and urban areas liberal. That's pretty much everywhere.
We're now on the other side of Death Valley in the town of Pahrump, Nevada. Casinos and legal brothels. Our RV park is next to and owned by a casino. It's supposedly the second ranked RV park in the country and it's very nice. The brand new ones, like this one, are built to accomodate the large rigs with slide outs. Many of the older places are well kept, but the spacing just doesn't work. To change that, they would need to relocate all the electric, water, sewer and tv lines and in many cases hedges and trees. It would probably be better to bulldoze the whole place and start over. Of course no one does that, so most places are too narrow and too short.
Had the truck tires rotated for the third time which means we've crossed the 30,000 mile mark. The truck has been great. The Duromax diesal and Allison transmission combo is tough to beat. From what we've seen, the Chevy-GM group is dominating the heavy truck market. Thanks to Dick Pollard for that recomendation.
