DOWN AT LAKE MEAD


23 Jan 20:  Left home on the 21st and headed south for warmer temperatures.  A bit earlier than we usually go, but the desert was calling, very strongly to Connie I might add.  She was craving sunshine and warm temperatures!  We drove to Jackpot, NV the first day.  Roads were good as was the weather.  Took a different route this year.  Drove over to I-15 then down to the Pocatello area and hit I-84 to Twin Falls, ID and got back on Hwy 93.  Longer distance traveled but shorter in time as 93 is a very slow driving road south of Salmon, ID.  Not that much though.  And not NEARLY as scenic!!  Left Jackpot and drove all the way to Overton, NV where we are camped out on Stuart’s Point on Lake Mead.  Not very many people here as the temperatures are only in the high 60’s but warmer than where we started!  Will stay here for a few days and then continue further south.  

Roads and weather was good south of Jackpot.

Some snow out in the desert but the roads were very good.



Having a beer after getting all set up.  Zeph just loves sitting in chairs.


Nice sunset tonight.


Not much for beach area in this area.
