On Pins and Needles
22 March 2008After I returned from Shul, we cleaned up, packed up, hooked up the trailer, and got on the road. We were headed to Camping World in Henderson, then intended to head for Pahrump. When I called the SKP park in Pahrump, I was told that they were full-up. Since it was a lark to go there in the first place, we decided to save it for another visit and just go on with our trip. After Googling and calling around a bit, we realized that we didn’t want to risk a long backup to go over Hoover Dam, so we went down US 95 to Needles, where we now repose.
US-95 here is the typical road through the desert. It offers the usual road-goes-on-forever-through-nothing trip that makes one glad for XM Radio. WIth a total trip of 101 miles, it wasn’t too bad. We enjoyed the trip, driving straight through from Henderson to the Needles Elks Lodge without a stop.
Needles is a Route-66 town, and there are lots of indications of such. I took the obligatory photo of an old Rt-66 era motel.
We’ll be here till Sunday morning, then, we think, will head over US-93 to Phoenix.
