Damn Rally

[Gary Hatt - Publisher BCM]

I like the oil filled heaters as well.  They are larger than the 1500 watt electric heaters but they are much quieter than the electric fan type heaters, and significantly quieter than an RV propane furnace.  They run about $80 at Home Depot.  They seem to last between 2-4 years before they quit working out here in SoCal where it gets very cold.  It can get down below 50 out here at night in the winter.

I also like the electric fireplaces as they are fun to watch and a bit more romantic to sit in front of when you are cuddling with your dog.  They are relatively inexpensive at $100 and have a small quiet fan built in to distribute the heat...some.  But they take up almost twice as much room as the oil heater.

Now the only question is does someone have the Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm on ppv so we can watch on Saturday night?? It will only last a minute or so.

Good read here  http://www.fostertravel.com/outdoor-adventure-in-las-vegas-nevada/

Good article Van, just  one major omission,  the railroads created current day LV, the steam engines running from San Pedro to salt lake, needed wood and water to fuel their  steam, there's a ponderosa  forest at Mt Charleston and water bubbled up at 7 natural oasis in LV. In 1905 they established the town site of Las Vegas at an auction  where downtown is now. Tom...

Tom, last year we talked about an east/west route between I 15 and 40/95 that followed some of the old railroad lines.  I can't for the life of me find the note I wrote to myself about it.  Do you recall the route?  We plan to use route 40 again this year.  Can we find a way to the rail route from 40 or do we need to use I 15?  Thanks, Jack

Only east- west hiway out there is the one that cuts off I 40 @ Fenner and goes through Goffs (old route 66) it dead ends at the RR crossing on 95 the road runs along the edge of the Mojave National Preserve not a bad road

What about 164 from I 15 to Searchlight?  What sort of road is that and what is there to see?  Thanks Jack

[Van]

Hi Jack that road from Nipton is not bad, 55 mph posted but can save some mileage heading into Searchlight. See ya'll soon!
