Beatty is a small town about 120 miles north of Las Vegas with a population of about 800 folks. Diane made a reservation for us to spend the night at the Space Station RV Park. There are a lot of free range donkeys in the area but I didn’t see even one of them so I didn’t take any photos of them.

The drive getting here was up hill almost all the way making it tricky for me to keep the engine from overheating. I did well in the mountains by going real slow up the hills, much to the dismay of those behind us. There are many stretches of US-95 that run straight and true for many miles at a time which makes for a very boring trip. Boring except for the occasional gust of wind that blew us around a lot. It was pretty exciting at times. Thankfully, we made it without mishap, and I kept the “Check Engine” light off until the very last mile when we slowed down entering town.

I didn’t take any photos in Beatty because there isn’t much to see at the RV park. It’s pretty much a gravel lot along US-95 with defined spots for weary travelers, which we were.

Since I didn’t take any photos of the town, here’s one from the 90’s . . . I think.

Diane’s Pops heavenly birthday was September 28th (he’s been gone since 2002).

The children are Lydia and Cedric Walters.

Next stop is NAS Fallon, Nevada, home of all the Top Gun pilots.
