but there is a winery and a pool with spa that helps with the isolation from mankind. These photos shot with K-5.

Nice campsite Bob, hope that the neighbours are not too rowdy

You sure have that unit shining, don't polish the paint off and in the second image as is befitting for a wilderness campsite you even show the wild life of.

Have fun but do take care,

Heinrich, that is our neighbors rig, it is a beauty for sure.
Here is our rig when we pulled in, after 7 years on the road, it has become bloated a bit from just filling the bins with unneeded items. Well we got rid of the nonsense rocks and junk that was hidden away and now we are ready to hit the road again...Leaner and Meaner than ever. thanks for taking a look, I know you appreciate the RV camping world, hope to see you on the road one day. Bob

Shown is one of 7 rows of campground sites in this RV resort, where at this time there are only 12 RV units in the entire park. During the winter, it is hard to find a vacant spot, as the temps in this part of the Nevada are mild.

There is a huge RV sales lot right before the freeway exit to my work. I often fantasize about which one I want a co-worker to buy for me after they win the big Lotto. (I never play...unfortunately, neither do they...)

I so envy you!

Kyle, We love the lifestyle traveling as we do, but often miss seeing the grand kids and family. Maybe you could get your co-workers to pool their money and at least they could rent one for you each year. thanks for commenting, Bob

Yes, you are right. Just a bit of fun is all. You probably don't have many of these big dinosaurs roaming your roads in Turkey, do you? One nice thing about traveling in an RV, if you get tired of your backyard, you can always go somewhere else. this was our backyard on the Colorado River in AZ

Now that's my idea of camping. Your blue rig looks sharp and classy; you're livin' in style.

thanks Jer, I have been trying to convince my wife to wax the upper part of the rig and I would get the lower part, but she just smiles and goes about her business. Bob

At the winery, you have to have grapes. So here is some "Wine on the Vine" for you to enjoy. The winery and vineyard is the only one in Nevada and a very popular place to visit. There are helicopter pads for the helicopters that bring in patrons from Las Vegas to dine and wine here. At this time of year, there are more people visiting the winery than camping at their RV park.
