It was 38 degrees early this morning at Kaibab Camper Village. It warmed up quickly and was up to about 60 degrees at 9 AM when we left for our next campsite.
We drove only 143 miles. We are here in Desert Skies RV Resort just over the Arizona line from Mesquite, NV. We are perhaps a tiny bit north of where we were on the Kaibab Plateau. However, there we were at just about 8,000 feet above sea level, here we are at just under 1,700 feet above sea level. It is dusk in this picture because it was 104 degrees when we arrived and Matey and I waited until near sunset, when it was a mere 98 degrees, to go outside.
We are back in the desert, back where the only trees are the ones that are planted and watered.
It does have its own beauty.
There’s a golf course just behind the RV Resort.
But we aren’t here for the beauty. We’re here because it’s about an hour and a half drive to the Las Vegas airport and I am flying to Buffalo to see my mom while Bud and Matey spend two weeks out in the desert heat. The forecast calls for it to cool off to the 80’s and then heat back to 101. But at least there’s nothing in the forecast quite as hot as today!
On the Roam Again 
Jill & Bud, I do agree the desert has its own beauty. I often think of the brave pioneers who traveled the desert into knowing the extreme conditions. Thank goodness for AC, GPS, and a camper. 🥰

Here in WNY the saying is: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a few hours.” I guess in your part of the country they could say: “If you don’t like the weather just drive a few hours away.” The golf course looks lovely – like an oasis in the desert.
