Week ending Feb 22, 2018 Tonopah


We had a fairly quiet week, with a couple of shopping trips into Phoenix.    The weather has been cool with lows bouncing off freezing.  Other than that, we watched a lot of Olympics. 

We met a couple from Blackie whose trailer is kitty corner to us, and another couple from Coaldale, who are on the same row. 

On Thursday, we decided it was time for some exercise, so we found a description for  a hike on Saddle Mountain, about 8 miles east of Tonopah.  It was a pretty difficult hike, with a 1500 ft elevation gain in about 1.4 miles.  We only did about a third of the hike, at which time we figured we had enough cardio for the day.   It was worth it with good views of the mountain, and the valley it is in.
