Wednesday, March 11, 2009  Woke up at 7:00 am with the moon shooting beams into our window and the next thing we know the peace is shattered by some construction equipment being started. . .oh how they moaned and complained because it was so cold, -- +40F inside the trailer. Finally the warm oil got to pumping through their veins which made them sound much better, and then the operator put them into reverse. . . .How we hate to hear that BEEP BEEP of equipment backing up!  By this time it was 7:30 so Jeanne arose and went for a walk while Gordon dilly dallied in the nice warm bed.  Jeanne walked around the long term area which is three streets of park model trailers with their Arizona rooms attached.  Then she walked down to the marina parking area.  Lake Mead is down sooo much from the high water line,  the marina is quite a way from the club house.  Callville Bay is pretty, but Jeanne went this morning without the camera, so we have only a few pictures.  This is us, getting ready to leave our one night stay at Callville Bay.  The next picture is taken of the park from the dump station.  The others were snapped as we traveled the four miles from the Bay to the main road.  The sign is across the road from the stop sign as we turned towards Overton.

We traveled about 40 miles today and we took 117 pictures. We can't begin to explain the magnificence we experienced today.  As we left the park at 10:45 the sun was just at Jeanne's shoulder, so some of the pictures taken of her side of the road are in shadow, so she would like to drive back without the trailer so we can pull into the few pullouts there were.  

Our camping spot for the next few days is on top of a bald faced mountain.  There isn't a bush or growth of any kind on the flat, but it is free camping.  We are about 6 miles south of Overton.  Met a couple, Glade & Kathy from Heber City, Utah and are going quading with them tomorrow.  As we can't ride from here, he has Gordon's machine loaded on his truck, Jeanne's machine is in our truck and Glade is pulling a quad trailer for his two machines.  Should be a very interesting day. I hope we can stop lots for pictures.  Maybe tomorrow night we can send more pictures of our last 40 miles of highway.
