Monday July 10th 2017

After two days of triple digit temperatures today’s 98 felt cool. It was cloudy overnight keeping the temperature from cooling way down. It was in the low 70s at sunrise this morning, but the clouds parted with the rising sun and the temperture climbed steadily.

I have one more full day in West Wendover NV before I move on to the Provo UT area. It won’t be too soon. I came to this area because I needed a place to stay over the Fourth of July holiday and it looked like there were a few interesting things in the area. Campsites in the tourist areas and areas with recreation opportunities were book for the entire holiday week. I should have moved on yesterday at the end of the holiday week. I’ve run out of interesting things to do in this area.

Today was another day watching TV, reading and spending a couple of hours in one of the casinos. There is nothing wrong with slow days. I enjoy doing nothing, but I am in a bit of a rut. If there was grass, a few shade trees to sit under and maybe some wildlife to watch I’d could do the lazy day thing for many more days. Unfortunately, there is nothing pretty or relaxing about this area. I’m in a gravel parking lot with lots of dust and a few trees. On the positive side it’s not particularly noisy except when a train goes by. Most of the RVs stay here for a night or two. I have been here ten nights now and will be here for a total of twelve nights. That’s much to long for this area.

My next stop will be at the Utah Lake State Park in Provo UT for six nights. The location should have a lot more interesting things to do. The campground may not be much different than this park. Gravel lots for camping are the norm in desert areas. I also heard on the news that Utah Lake currently has an algae bloom in the area of the state park.
