The expected storm did come through, but not as bad as was forecast. I got dusted, but just a bit. Tomorrow I go “topside”.
I’ve observed there are about 5 times as many rental RVs as owned units here. That portends a lot of Euro and Asian tourists in the Southwest parks this year.
The park doesn’t officially start operating until next week. Meanwhile there are limited human resources, notably park rangers. I haven’t seen a single one since I’ve been here.
From here I’ll head up to Death Valley Junction, the easy way out of this hole. Turn south and head for Baker at I-15 looking for a crappy truck stop to park in for the night.
