We left Ruby's Inn RV Park at 9:30 (GA Time). We went highway 12 to highway 89 to highway 9. We tried to go through Zion National Park but we were too long (50 feet is the limit and we are 54 feet) and had to turn back. We got back onto highway 89 and at Kanab Utah we kept on it instead of taking alt. 89... so turn around and get on the right road. Then to highway 389.


We got gas outside of Hurricane Nevada for $4.76 a gallon. The credit card would only allow us to purchase $100 worth of gas at the pump. Frank called the credit card company later to make sure that was correct... they said to purchase more you would have to go inside and sign the paperwork.


Then to I 70.... We stopped at a Wal-Mart (the first one we had seen since Durango) at Washington Nevada and resupplied. We had room in the freezer for a few frozen veggies... almost as good as fresh.



We arrived at Oasis RV Resort, Mesquite Nevada (basically a parking lot with water, sewer and electrical hookups) at 5:30 . It was kinda noisy with truck traffic but after the driving and backtracking all day we slept pretty good. We got gas at a Chevron service station at $4.73 gallon. The credit card wouldn't work at the pump, so Frank told the clerk that he would give him $50 cash to hold and come back inside to reclaimed the $50 and pay for the gas with the credit card. When Frank went back inside the clerk told him he had entered the $50 as a prepayment and could not change it. He also said he had no way to give us a cash receipt. Frank said it looked like the two workers there were stoned on drugs and that two customers in the back of the store were fighting over a beer.


We traveled 255 miles today.
