This morning we drove out to Jean Dry Lake, 15 miles south of Las Vegas, to set up camp for a while.  Last night only got down to about 50 degrees, and the rest of the week is supposed to be sunny with highs around 70, which is just perfect.  M and I inflated his motorcycle tires and oiled his chain.  We also installed a front axle that came in the mail to replace the one that was missing from the original crate.  So far we’ve been using a bolt from True Value Hardware, which worked surprisingly well:

We’re all alone our here:

I had the pleasure of going out for a shortish ride, seeing where the pavement ends on the roads around the lake:

We love the desert sunsets:

We’re looking forward to spending a couple weeks out here!
