June 11, 2018. Start Topaz trip

After a nice breakfast at Grandpa's Kitchen, and a car wash for Skid, we were on the road around 8:30 AM.
First stop was a Circle K for gas and my coffee, then we hit this McDonald's  for Skids coffee and Sandy's smoothie.

Both of us are driving 4 wheels instead of 2 this trip.  Laughlin and the Colorado River in the background

The Sheriff in Searchlight, NV


A rest stop in Nipton.  Old Mining town


We both had to cover the Garmin's to keep the sun off.  It's so hot, we got "black screen"

See the white Tipis in the background?  About a dozen of them,  Insulated, about 15 degrees cooler inside.  Have solar panels to charge phones and power laptops.  Primitive bed and basic furniture.  They are Eco friendy

Baker, California

Stil mid morning, and up to 98 degrees


Yum Yum.  Won't be having Mexican food for the next few days.  My Canadian traveling companions aren't used to anything spicy. Or good :-)

Arco is a low price station. California gas is expensive

Our room has gone to the dogs!  Actually, it's a pretty nice room.  2 Queen beds, and lots of electrical outlets.  It's all we need.
