We were going to try to make it to Zion National Park today, but the morning got away from us. Before leaving our nice little campground of last night Janet thought it would be a good idea to see if the sand drifted road we came in on was passable. Good thing we checked, the road was closed as well as an alternate road. We ended up having to drive 40 miles out of our way to get back to that point. While driving we passed Barstow (again) and decided to get fuel (since we were probably only getting 5 miles to the gallon driving into the 40 mph headwinds). Unfortunately there was a detour in town and we ended up driving in circles for about 15 minutes since the signage for the detour was so bad. We finally figured out the detour and stopped for fuel. 1.5 hours later we were back to where we would have been had the road not been closed. Oh well, all part of the adventure! Without detours like that we never would have seen an RV park with cars out front made into the shape of dinosaurs and other monstrosities. After the eventful morning, we were pretty tired and didn't want to drive to Zion, so we stopped in Mesquite on the Nevada/Arizona border. Stayed in the Casa Blanca Casino/Resort RV park. Nice little place for an overnight stay and true to his nature (if you know Tom you know what I mean) no money was spent at the casino. Here are a couple of pics from the resort.
