Arriving in Las Vegas and driving to Beatty, NV


We got in safely and rented a car but immediately got lost trying to find Walmart. We finally found Walmart and bought about about $70 dollars worth of camping equipment and $60 dollars worth of water, food and snacks.

Again problems with the navigator (Timmy) but we finally got straighen out and drove about 170 miles to Beatty, NV. Between Las Vegas and Beatty, there is NOTHING. Miles and miles of road with nothing but mountains in the background. You definitely would not want to run out of gas on this road.

We got to Beatty and its a one horse town, no stoplights, one filling station but one casino! We found a bar where the locals hung out and had pizza and a beer ($17). You will be glad to know that Monday Night Football in not just an East Coast way of life.
