This was a long day of driving. There is not much along this route and the acceptable campgrounds were booked. If you ever need to stop on I80 in northern Nevada, make sure you get reservations at Iron Horse Resort in Elko, NV. We did get to drive through the salt flats and stopped at [...]

The RV park from the roof

April 29 – May 1, 2012: As per our usual method, we headed for a full-hookup “parking lot” campground after the Grand Prix of Utah. After days at the track, ultra-conserving water and electricity, all we want to do is take a long shower and maybe watch some programming. This campground is only about 45 [...]

More mountains near Salt Lake City

As with after almost every race, we did our usual find the nearest campground with full hook-ups. Since this was only about 45 minutes from the track. That are really any pictures nor is there any interesting stories. I guess this post is more like a log entry.

Grand Prix of Utah

April 25-29, 2012: Due to ALMS taking this track of the schedule, we have not been to this track in two years. Since Darren is shooting GT3 and Cooper Tires Prototype Lites for IMSA this track is back on our schedule. This is a good thing. The track has very nice facilities and the scenery [...]

Cannonville, UT to Tooele, UT

Scenery on the drive

We left the Bryce Canyon area for the track and decided to take as much of scenic route 89 as possible. The extra time required was well worth it. It was a very pleasant drive. Driving through Utah

Bryce Valley KOA

April 24-25, 2012: There are a couple wonderful campgrounds in Bryce Canyon National Park. However, because we had just experienced 100+ degree heat in Las Vegas we thought it would be wiser to stay somewhere with hook-ups. The only problems is that Bryce Canyon (or at least the rim) is at 7000 feet above sea [...]

Las Vegas, NV to Cannonville, UT

When deciding our route I always look for interesting places to stop for the night or slight diversions that might make our drive more entertaining. I am always taking any chance I can to get us off the interstates. While plotting our route to Miller Motorsports Park, the location of Darren’s next shoot, I noticed [...]

Oasis RV Resort

April 20-24, 2012: After all the park campgrounds we had been staying in, we felt we need to head to a parking lot with full hook-ups. We have stayed at the Oasis before, but it was just for one night. This time we gave ourselves a couple of days to enjoy the a/c and power. [...]

Yucca Valley, CA to Las Vegas, NV

April 20, 2012 | Las Vegas, NV

Scenery on the drive

The pro-tip from this drive is for some reason everyone from Los Angeles drives to Las Vegas on Friday afternoons. A 3 hour drive ended up taking us more like 5 hours, some of which we had to turn off the a/c. It really was a shame because the landscape on the drive is beautiful, [...]

Joshua Tree National Park

Joshua Tree National Park

April 18-20, 2012: We stayed in Black Rock Canyon Campground for two nights so that we would have a full day here. There are no hookups, but we had a nice breeze and were never hot. In fact on the second night we turned on the heat for a bit. I can’t help but think [...]
