It's that time of year again where Kelly and I make the transition to relocating our RV camp trailers to Southern Nevada. We drive our trailers down to Pahrump Nevada where we have purchased a home! That's another topic though... we take about a 6 weeks to get our fleet down South and ready to rent the units at the Dumont Sand Dunes in CA. Dumont is North of Baker CA and the Southern most part of Death Valley. It's a beautiful place in the Winter and we enjoy the desert living. We also enjoy getting away from the wet Oregon Coast for Winter. We LOVE the Oregon Coast in the Summer, so we get the best of both worlds! We see all kinds of weather on our trips, the transition from Summer to Fall is awesome and unpredictable. I call our trips our "travelcation" trips and we enjoy our time together.
We stop along the way at some kind of awesome motels too. We've started staying off the beaten path and tried some small town flavor! This Clown Motel is in the town of Tonopah Nevada. It's a very small town with a few motel options, a couple fast food places and a gas station. It's an old desert town with a museum too. It's a place for people to gas up, get food and rest up if necessary.
The Clown Motel was interesting... the parking lot was packed! Good thing we called ahead, we got the last room at 10:00pm. The lobby was FULL of clowns and the man at the desk was friendly. All paperwork, no computer and an old fashioned gold key for the door!
We went to our room and Wow! The positives were that the bed was comfortable and clean and the air conditioning worked. THOSE are the most important things to us! So the window was boarded up with plywood... made for a dark night's sleep and we couldn't tell when it was morning. Lol!
The shower was clean, but we had no towels in our room... Kelly went for towels the next morning so we could shower. They were apologetic, saying the cleaning lady is new. WELL... someone could have followed up with her and checked her work.. Ah well, we had a good night's sleep, all ok and we experienced the Clown Motel. There was a photo of a clown over the headboard and a clown on every room door outside.
So we made a trip! I drove a truck and trailer down to Pahrump, following Kelly and then drove the truck back to Oregon.. we were in Pahrump for one night and left the next day. That was OK because it was rather warm! We checked on our house - we have contractors working on jobs for us - and they are making progress!! So exciting!
So we actually leave again in a couple days from Oregon to take another RV down. Our son Daniel is on his trip taking one down right now, he'll leave tomorrow to come back. It helps to have help and we love working with our son.
