April 1 - whole lot of nothing - to Tonopah, NV

Coming across Arizona into Nevada was a whole lot of nothing BUT it was beautiful to us. We left the Ponderosa Pines in Williams (near the Grand Canyon and got right back into the desert. 

Not sure who was driving here but we didn’t get lost!

Drove  past Hoover Dam. Didn’t stop this time because we’ve been there but noticed a lot of new highways and concrete. 

Some pics along the way to our next stop. 

Next came Las Vegas. Wow has that town ever expanded since we were here several years ago. 

Coming around Las Vegas, lots of palm trees. They even make the cell towers look like palm trees. 

A few Joshua Trees along the way. 

Wonder how long it will take for them to grow big like the one below? They are a very slow growing tre. 

We thought we wanted to stay in Beatty, NV, but all the RV parks were filled. 

Here are a few shots of Beatty. It’s definitely a western village. 

So on to Tonopah. We found a perfect, no frills campground BUT we could hike anywhere on their 1,400 acre desert. So that’s what we did for about 4 miles. Lenny could be off leash and he was happy smelling all those desert smells!  

This is our view for tonight. Lots and lots of desert and open areas.
