Fri, Oct 22:  Sportsman’s Beach at Walker Lake, NV to Millers Rest Area, Tonopah


A quiet night was had by all despite the road not being that far away.  We walked down to the lake but elected to not have Mali swim and chase sticks…wasn’t sure how good the water would be for her to drink and she does get some when she gets the sticks I throw.  Also if she swims she wants to roll to get the water off as she is not a big fan of water…won’t go in on her own but will fetch sticks.   THEN there would be a rather long walk back to rv either carrying 46 lb. wet dog or walking a 46 lb. wet and very SANDY dog that wants to keep rolling.    WINDY today…as in too windy…get me outa here too windy.  

 

Because it was so windy, I elected to move on even though our paid stay was not done.  I cannot sleep if the rv is getting knocked around moderately.  It was gusty and there was great potential in that wind tunnel area for me to be up all night…NOPE.  We did some quick shopping in Hawthorne Nevada and then drove to Miller Rest Area near Tonopah.  No trucks were allowed and there were about 8 rv’s including us.  It was a bit tired but nice thought in its amenities, dog area (but not on grass), dog bags, picnic tables and covers, TREES, trash.  Right across from a cell tower…ah NOPE, we moved on other side near some minor power lines…not much choice and this was a quick overnight.  Arrived just before dark.
