Suppose to head out for a ride today but here comes the next storm into Parma. Wind is howling and rain coming. 

 

Spent some time this morning building up the trailer tune. See what I get on the next leg. I've been staying in touch with @JAG1 by phone we are going to still meet up before camp.

 

In the mean time I've gotta pay this month's bills. So back to reality and deal with that stuff. Ugh. :kick:

I'm going to back get more I'm typically conservative about food typically. Sadly enough. Never done anything like this. Just how little I've been camping as a group. :doh:

We always have plenty of food to make up for guys if they run short. We are easy to get along with. I bribed my way into the group with Ice cream.:USflag:

Lots of food.  Not to worry.  I'm bringing enough food for 4 dinners for 5 people plus breakfast burritos and some hot dogs on the grill for lunch.  Let's not forget about desserts; I bring the pie and @JAG1brings the ice cream.  

I got 4 half gallons :wow:

Well I made it to rest area south of Winnemucca. Got lucky the lot is pretty flat. Already grabbed a bite in Winnemucca. No cooking tonight. Flipped on the heat, then inverter. Now I'm in bed staying warm and listening to music on my phone.

 

Another 4 hours left tomorrow and met up with @JAG1.

Yup. Fernley is correct. I'll be meeting @JAG1 then continuing on. I might be ahead but now I can slow down a bit and snoop in a casino throw a little money at slot machine. Gotta for old time sake. This goes back the trip @MoparMom and I made years ago from California to Idaho. We stopped in Nevada toss a few dollars and rolled on. This was 32 years ago. Yup gotta give it a pull for Mom.

Price of diesel in Bridgeport, CA is $7.699/gal.  Fill up at Quik Stop, 360 US Highway 95A S, Farnley, NV. $5.54/gal.

  OH MY GOD! $7.69/gallon is ridiculous!

@Mopar1973Man, has the wind died down for you at all? Lastnight you said you had like 30-40mph winds, that really affects travel in most cases.

Yup. I was woke up by a refer unit at around midnight. Got back to sleep and woke at 6am. Smooth sailing. 

 

Oh for you guys ask for the tow tune I'm build it yet. Trying some changes in timing layout as well as fueling layout. This morning with wind was way better numbers. Yesterday was a 10.06 MPG trip fighting wind ugh.

 

I'm currently in Lovelock NV. Getting breakfast then looking for a slot machine dump a few dollars at it.

Went in to Terrible's Casino and dropped 50 dollars on the new video slots. Man it not like it was years ago with the bucket of coins and pull the one arm bandit. Rather boring to just tap a button. Anyways had a bit of win for about 5 bucks then blew it oh well easy come easy goes.

 

Oh @JAG1 is about 2 hour out I can get a bit of house keeping done.
