We woke up tired! After all that walking/hiking yesterday we're just pooped! Bob asked me if I wanted to stay another day here but I told him it was up to him, after all, he does all the driving.
I guess he thought about it and decided we better get on the road. Within the hour we were on our way. Our goal today is Needles, California on the way to Williams, Arizona.
It didn't take us long and we were back in Nevada and it was HOT! Around 2 p.m. we were driving through a town and the bank clock/temp thing-y was reading 103 degrees. The further south we drove the hotter it got. I realized that I did not miss the desert!
We ended up getting as far as Boulder City due to the heat. We had to pull over several times just to let the truck engine cool down. Thanks heavens Bob installed those gauges to let us know how hot the engine/transmission was getting.
We pulled into a campground but didn't even bother getting unhooked as we were leaving early tomorrow morning. In fact, other than the electric cord we didn't hook up water or sewer lines. We were parked right next to the bathroom facilities so we decided to just use them. Were they ever nice! Just as clean and modern as could be.
It was still incredibly hot even when the sun went down. While watching the 11 o'clock news the weatherman gave the present temperature for Boulder City.....are you ready for this??? 92 degrees! At eleven at night! Thankfully the humidity was only 9%.
We'll be back on the road early tomorrow morning.

Send us some of the heat. We are freezing here in OH! It has gotten down to the low 40's to upper 40's at night and only in the 50's during the day. Travel safe.
