March 16th

What a day, we left North Ranch at just before 8:00 AM for the long drive of just under 300 miles to Pahrump, NV for the 2015 Monaco International Rally.  Our drive was a good drive and some great sights.

Joshua Trees are really in bloom right now.  It was neat to see how they are growing so well in this area.

We had some real good roads today until we left Las Vegas and start climbing towards Pahrump, we went from 2200 feet to 5400 feet in a mater of 8 miles.  The road was good but the climb was steep, but the old Ford did a great job.  As we were going through Vegas Cyndy got a couple of neat photos.

They really make there highways look great around here.  I do miss the green of the northwest, but the southern states do a great job on sprucing up there road sides.

We even seen some nice piles of rocks, it is amazing how the landscape changes in just a couple hundred feet.  We made it here to the Rally with no problems.  We got parked with full hook ups and even 50 AMP, Cyndy is happy she can run the washer and dryer with air condition on at the same time.  I am a little bit worried about how they have things set up here, but I will leave that for tomorrows story, because I am not sure how this is going to play out with everything all over the place here and some of the seminars are at least a half mile from the main area.  Any way we will see how it goes and more to come.
