Walker River RV Park and Lake Topaz

Walker River RV Park is so beautiful, 600 acres located on the...wait for it...Walker River (duh).  The only thing is that unless you have AT& T you will be in technology he--ll.  No phone unless there is an emergency, no WiFi, no TV...AHHHHHHHHHHH.

OK I lived through it & it was OK.  We watched a lot of movies & now Rod is a "Bordertown" fan.  I watched it back a long time ago late at night & found a DVD with 10 - 12 episodes.  They now have all 78 episodes on DVD at amazon.com so I am going to get it for our next foray (like that big word?) into no technology.

The series was set in the 1880's on the border of the US & Canada, therefore the name "Bordertown" which was run by a Mountie & US Marshall with a lady doctor they both were in love with.  Anyway, it is a  real good series.

We did some exploring for 2 days in Yerington, NV which we both absolutely fell in love with.  It is the county seat for Lyons County in Nevada.  about 74 miles from Carson City, 30 miles or so from Gardnerville & Minden, Nevada which we also explored Saturday & fell in love with.

We moved to Lake Topaz, Nevada for 6 days.  A real nice RV campground & we have a great view of the lake.  Very windy today so we had to pull in the slide out so the wind wouldn't rip the cover over the slide out.  We had it put on when we bought it so nothing could accumulate on the flat roof.

We are planning for a few nights Verdi, NV & then take a week to creep back to home.  Well Roseburg we still call home.

Kilo went for a walk as soon as we got to Topaz Lake & started pawing around a bush.  Rod thought it was a rat he was trying to get, but it turned out to be a tennis ball.  Go figure.  That dog can find a tennis ball no matter where it is & who leaves it.  He really would have been a great drug dog.

He is old & his legs are hurting so we give him an aspirin when they do, but when he is in the water, Rod says he turns into Johnny Weismuller.  He loves swimming in the river or ponds or lakes.

Woke up to snow.  We knew it was going to snow because of the Weather Bug App we have on our phones & computer.  Right now we are following the weather reports & when we read snow we decided to stay put for awhile.

We looked at homes in Yerington  a couple of days, & found a couple we really liked, but they were manufactured & not on foundations which the bank does not finance.  There was one we would have bought yesterday, but it was not meant to be.  That's OK, we are still loving the nomadic life.
