Destination Quartzsite!!

We left Osoyoos on November 22nd, crossed the border with them taking my celery and peppers, also my cactus!  At least I was able to keep the pot it was in😁  I really like the pot and I can use it for other things.  Our first night we stopped at the flying J travel center in Ellensburg, Washington.  The next day we traveled to Bend, Oregon and stayed at Scandia RV Park for 2 nights.  Doug needed a break from driving😉.  November 25th we traveled to Susanville, California and stayed overnight at Diamond Mountain Casino.  We went in and had dinner, then I took $20.00 and played the slot machine, 1 machine and over an hour later I was down to $6.00 then the bells went off and I was up to $25.00.  I decided to not push my luck and cashed out.😄  The next morning we traveled to Tonopah, Nevada.  I was watching the weather and there was a winter weather advisory .  We stayed at the Tonopah Station Casino.  We had full hookups for $23.00/night!😍  We woke up to snow and fog😣  not good!! We went in and had breakfast and decided that we should push on, as the brunt of the storm had not hit yet.  The area was forecasting 7 inches of snow!!  We got on the road and found it not bad.  A few miles further we hit snow and terrible road conditions!! Luckily it was only about 15 miles, it then cleared and we had sunny and dry conditions.  We were staying ahead of the forecasted storm!! We stopped in Searchlight, Nevada at Terrible Herbst Chevron, a truck stop.  It was sunny when we woke up.  We went into the McDonalds and had breakfast, then on the road again.  Each day of our travels we averaged 5 to 6 hours.  Today was a 2 1/2 hour day to Quartzsite.  We got to Holiday Palms RV Park but the office was closed due to American Thanksgiving.  We were told to go into one of the drive through over night spots, then check into our site in the morning when the office opened.  That night we had horrendous winds and a torrential down pour!! I thought we were going to float away😂  The next morning we went to the office and they .gave us our site.  Tony guided us to our site, but there was no way we were getting into that one.  We went back to the office for them to give us a different site.  After about a half hour wait😥  we finally got another site.  This one we were able to get into, thank goodness.  We got set up and were able to relax. We walked around to check out the place.  The wind was bad again, although it was warm 18c😁  We will be here for 2 months.
