HAWTHORNE, NEVADA

ANOTHER LAZY TRAVEL DAY (105 MILES), AND ANOTHER FREE CASINO PARKING LOT. THIS TIME IT'S THE THE EL CAPTAIN CASINO IN DOWNTOWN HAWTHORNE, NV. ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF WALKER LAKE.

TOMORROW WE ONLY HAVE 135 MILES LEFT TO CARSON CITY AND THE SILVER CITY RV RESORT INCLUDING ELECTRIC, WATER, SEWER, HEATED POOL, HOT TUB, AND CABLE TV.

BOONDOCKING ISN'T A BAD THING IF YOUR CAMPER IS SET UP FOR IT WITH AN ON BOARD GENERATOR, SOLAR SYSTEM, BIG BATTERIES, AND AN INVERTER. OUR CAMPER JUST ISN'T SET UP THAT WAY BECAUSE WE HARDLY EVER BOONDOCK, SO WITH JUST ONE BATTERY (EVEN IF IT'S NEW) WE HAVE LIGHTS, AND VERY LIMITED POWER TO RUN THE FURNACE, AND WATER PUMP.

THE STOVE, REFRIGERATOR, AND HOT WATER HEATER ALL RUN OFF OF LP GAS SO WE AREN'T REALLY SUFFERING TOO MUCH. ALL IN ALL IT WILL BE GOOD TO SEE SILVER CITY, TAKE A LONG SOAK IN THE HOT TUB AND GET THE TV BACK UP AND RUNNING!
