We left Las Vegas around noon and headed for Phoenix. Joshua trees and prickly pears all the
way. We drove to Surprise, AZ and
noticed the little towns start running together and looking alike. We were tired and wanted to hole up. We found a great parking lot, near a Shell
gas station, with a few trucks parked and running their motors. Oh oh, bad sign, especially after the Worst Night of My Life, (the first night
in Vegas at the truck stop from Hell.)
But this wasn't a real truck stop, just a huge lot, with few trucks parked behind; but on the Subway side, there was
a couple of acres of cement and nobody around.
After a bit of maneuvering practice (me, not Lance) I fixed some dinner
and then we took a nice walk on a mile of cement that looked to be a road that
leads to nowhere and no cars on it. All
the stars were out by this time, and the planet, Venus, was putting on a show! It was lovely and quiet! We hunkered down for the night.
The only blight on this spot
was that it was too well lighted. We
erroneously thought it would be smart to park under lights, because I fear for
our bicycles mounted on the back of the LH.
The parking lot lights make it impossible to tell if it is night or day
from inside the LH, even when it is dark in the LH, it is light outside. For me, I would prefer it to be dark
outside. We are learning these little
preferences as we go!
