Aidan came and woke us up with his usual greeting of “Mama, Dada, up! Pink Os!” (Strawberry Cheerios). We lounged for a few more minutes while he started getting the blankets off his bed and bringing them back to ours, and trying to turn his bed back into the table. He’s getting pretty good at his part of the routine, and seems to know he’ll get breakfast faster if he helps things along. We made a big breakfast, since we knew we had a pretty short driving day. We eventually got our oil changed and got on the road. It was a pretty uneventful day of driving. There were some pretty big dust storms along the route to watch, but that’s about it. We had a snacky lunch since we had eaten a big breakfast. We stopped in Elko to buy groceries, and ended up getting dinner from the deli there, which we ate in the parking lot. Then it was on to Wells, NV, and the Angel Lake RV Park. The owner here is great. He was waiting for us, even though we didn’t get here until after 7:00. He even came to see if we needed quarters for laundry before he took off for the night. The facilities are great, since the park is only a couple of years old. There’s not much in the way of amenities, but it’s a little too cool to use them anyway.
