West Wendover arrival

On Saturday May 1 at around 1:30 pm JT and Lindsay made it to the KOA in West Wendover. Safe and sound, but as you can guess tired. I can't say it was an easy or uneventful trip but not too bad.

They left Council Bluffs on Friday April 30 around 10 am heading to anywhere in Wyoming. Rain was light to moderate up to Lincoln and then it stopped. A little windy but nothing serious. Nebraska is a long drive. Not sure which rest stop this was but here is Lindsay!


Nearing the Wyoming border the weather started to get very cold and it started to snow.

Earlier in the day a high wind warning and no small trailer advisory was posted from Cheyenne to Laramie. Luckily by the time they got to Wyoming the advisory had been canceled. Now the problem would be snow in some areas.

First stop Summit rest area in Cheyenne. Originally this was going to be the stop for the night but it was still daylight so they both agreed to keep going. But not before meeting a new friend and going in to check out the stop.

Hard to see but that is a skunk.

Lindsay inside.




The weather looked good so off they went heading towards Wagonhound rest stop 50 miles west of Laramie. As they climbed the mountains the weather started to change as is the norm for Wyoming.


The roads were fine so they kept going to Wagonhound. I sent a picture from a Wyoming traffic cam that showed A view of Elk Mountain where they were. And JT at the same time sent a similar picture from their view.



They stayed for the night and woke up at 2am to 3 inches of snow and snowing pretty good. Decided to stay put for awhile and around 5 am headed out as the roads looked clear. The wind picked up so several stops were made, plus there was a black ice advisory so the trip to Rawlins 53 miles away was a slow but safe one.


The weather cleared so, after a few rest stops and another new friend (prairie dog?) the trip continued.



Next stop Utah! No other issues except some snow in the mountains and rain and snow in Salt Lake City. Past Salt Lake it was smooth sailing to Wendover.
Arrival time 2 pm. The trailer was in good shape, slight mishap with kitchen sink hose coming off and water spraying them,but all was fine. Lucy at the KOA kept a good eye on the trailer for us.

Relaxing and planning to explore, plus setting up the property, is the plan for the week. Moving the trailer to the property is still on for Saturday May 8. But for now JT and Lindsay are enjoying our future home and the great state of Nevada!!!
