Here was today's trip:
Because this was the shortest leg of the entire trip, we left late, and I finally got a chance to actually use the hot tub at one of the hotels at which we've stayed on this trip.
( Spa Time at Last! )
Just before Noon, we checked out of one of the nicest of the Holiday Inn Expresses at which we've stayed, and after a coffee stop, we set course for Nevada.
Unfortunately, the Astro's air conditioning stopped working late yesterday. Lisa examined things and thinks the the AC clutch has failed. Worse, even without the AC working, we still had the annoying rattling from the loose pipe and the Service Engine Soon light. As Lisa put it, this made for a less-than-stellar driving experience. So once again we're without air conditioning. Fortunately, today was partly cloudy and not nearly as unpleasantly hot and humid as it was driving across southern Canada.
( Closing the Lasso )
Thanks to the time change, we gained an hour and arrived at the Holiday Inn Express Elko NV around 3:30 PM.
( HIX Trying to Blind Lisa )
I took a shower after we settled in and thought I'd take advantage of the early arrival to get another soak in a hot tub. Unfortunately, this particular hotel has only an indoor pool, not a hot tub. Oh, well.
Tonight, instead of pizza, we're considering going out and getting some chicken, having dinner in the room, and getting to bed early in anticipation of our roughly 260-mile final day on the road tomorrow.
