Jackpot, on the Idaho border, exists solely to provide a mini Las Vegas experience to folk in Southern Idaho. Traffic isn’t much on US93, some truckers use it, and there are a few snowbirds heading home.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, if one finds oneself on this highway (very pretty drive), the RV parking at the big casino is real nice. Huge pull-throughs, good for motor homes pulling auto trailers. The rate is reasonable ($18).<\/p>\n
It’s so dang cold (22 this morning) I’ll pay anything for electricity. My space heater is too small, so I use my propane cat heater during the night to keep up. I avoid using my furnace to conserve propane.<\/p>\n
This has been for me the longest stretch of the coldest weather I’ve seen. I’m not taking any extraordinary steps to protect my water lines because I want to see what freezes and breaks. My lines are frozen in the morning, but once the sun comes up they thaw out. No breaks yet. When I do need to repair something, I’ll insulate the spot for the next time.<\/p>\n
I left Wells this morning once I realized there was nothing to do there, I have seen (nearly) all the nearby attractions. There are no nearby attractions in Jackpot, but for the few hours when it’s warm enough I can walk around the town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
