Chronicling the adventures of the NH Nomads
Today’s travels brought us from Boulder City, Nevada to Williams, Arizona.
We took our time leaving Boulder City, watched trains in California, walked over London Bridge, and met friends in Kingman.

We visited the Hoover Dam, stocked up on groceries, and drove down The Strip after the sun set.

Fortunately, my alarm clock had just enough battery backup to sound the alarm even though the display was not illuminated. It beeped 2½ times, which was enough to get us up and moving, then died and didn’t come back to life. It died valiantly, doing its job with its last ounce of energy!

Over the past year, geocaching.com has been receiving facelifts here and there. Some I like, some I don’t like so much.
While we had spent one night in the trailer in our driveway, just to get used to it, we decided that our first trip with the new trailer was going to be over a familiar route. We made the trip across the Southern Tier of New York and up and over the Green Mountains, destined for my parents’ house in New Hampshire.
So, this week we did a thing.
After church, we stopped at General RV in North Canton “just to look” at a used travel trailer that we saw listed on their website the night before. Continue reading “Our new travel trailer!”
