What is this?
If you come to this website, you might be wondering what is going on here. Well first off, welcome to my site. It is a collection of stuff about two primary things, our travels in our RV and about my Role-playing Game hobby, which at this point I am attempting to do some stuff while we traveling.

Yesterday went to into Prescott to groceries and then dump and get water. Went by pretty well. The only issue we still keep having is the solar charger and battery bank. having some real issues there. I'm almost afraid that the solar charger is killing the batteries with it be weird. Will need to keep an eye on it this week.
We moved to some BLM land at what I am going to call Bloody Basin West. We hope to be here all week.

Well we left the Southern Nevada Welcome Center yesterday afternoon and made our way towards Arizona. We were happy to leave Nevada behind. We stopped for fuel in Golden Valley, Arizona, where we experienced some lady singing we think religious songs into a microphone with a speaker at the edge of the entrance/exit of the gas station. Not sure what that was about. I mean why there of all places? Did not make too much sense to me.
At any rate, we left there as soon as we got gas and headed towards Seligman. There we hopped onto old Route 66. There was a pull off on it that we could camp. We found the Route 66 Pulloff without issues, although after we stopped, the wife decided that we should have parked it in a different spot. Not sure if we are going to spend another night here or move on to our next destination.

Well we put on more miles than expected yesterday. We went to southwest edge of Vegas to get the oil changed in the truck. Then we went got a little fuel. For some reason The price of fuel in Pahrump was a lot less than Vegas. We should of gotten it there but we thought it would be cheaper in Vegas, so we only got enough to get us to Kingman, Arizona. After we got gas, we stopped to get a few groceries.
Whlie the wife got the groceries, I went to walk the dogs at a nearby park. While I was doing that I went to lookup our next stop to discover that it was not an actual rest stop. Instead It seems like it was a park that closes at 10pm at night that was labeled a rest stop. So it was a good thing I had looked it up. We decided to try to find a place listed near Searchlight, Nevada. We sort of blew by it in the dark and we ended up a the Southern Nevada Welcome Center, which looks like a really new rest stop. Hardly anyone here and plenty of space. The only thing we did find out is that our emergency exit window opened up on the RV and we lost the screen in that window and the window itself is a little bent. Not sure what we are going to do know with that.

We left our spot in Tonopah and made it all the way to Pahrump, Nevada yesterday evening. We found this BLM Land Pahrump spot. Not much else to say right now except that we are trying to still get through Nevada as fast as we can. I think we will be glad to be back in Arizona soon.
Did not get a full charge on the panels yesterday. Have no idea why except that the charge controller is being really really weird.

Had some issue open leaving Water Canyon Recreation Area, seems like our trailer brakes no longer work. No idea why. My guess some of the wiring went bad somewhere. We spent a lot of time to troubleshoot. We finally left without working trailer brake, we had no choice.
Arrived in Austin, Nevada. Decided that since the wife was wide awake, to push on to Tonopah, Nevada. Arrived late in the evening. Not a lot here but we did end up at Tonopah Stargazing Park to park it for the day. While I can work the cell signal is odd, so we will have to see how well I can work here. At least it's just for the day.
