Hmmm. She wasn't too happy today. It was hot but windy. She doesn't like heat. Neither do I. Two more days of it then pleasant weather should return.
In the Heat of Aridzona, it might be more comfortable for you & Marigold to have a Gazeled (or other brand) 5" cordless clip on fan (or other type of base stand). In AZ when i was parked i usually used mine on low speed (batteries lasted longer). At least it kept me from dying.
I spent most of my time in a casino with A/C or on my boat where i could jump in the water.
There are some fans which can be run connected to your computer/ some can be run connected to 120 volts/ some run using rechargeable batteries/ i've just been using Duracell/ Energizer/ Amazon Choice batteries, frugally. See what appeals to you on Amazon.
I've got two USB fans. One I clip to the jackery in the front and the other I place in the back. They usually keep us cool enough but Marigold has a lot of hair, not much I can do about that.
I thought Arizona had a lot of beauty and I haven't seen a lot of Nevada but the beauty of the area surrounding Pahrump is amazing.
Where we are situated is not far from town and the lights of the town at night are so beautiful, it takes my breath away. We're surrounded by mountains, some with snow on top of them yet and it is truly awesome.
I wish I had never listened to my sister when I first discussed moving here and had at least explored the area. But, back then I hadn't had any experience of the west and frankly, I was scared of the unknown.
I would never have even contemplated a nomadic lifestyle.
I've grown so much during this whole experience and now can't imagine going back to living like 'normal' people.
I've never been to Pahrump, but i read what folks said on www.rv.net about, it has grown so much in the last 20 years. Enjoy exploring around the area there.
We drove along the freeway to Las Vegas several times, until we discovered Avi Casino, outside of Laughlin, NV, by the CO River. We like it much better.
Driving in on the interstate at night, when we first saw all the lights of Vegas, it was amazing...
I really like Pahrump. I haven't run into a grumpy person yet. Everyone has been so nice; the store staff are extremely helpful and make a person feel welcome. It feels like they're expressing, welcome to our town.
In the meantime, the wind here, and I think everywhere out west, is really bad. It's supposed to continue at least overnight and maybe into tomorrow. The weather channel says until 3 am.
I don't foresee a lot of sleep tonight. The car is rocking with the wind.
My sister called and it's snowing like crazy in Minnesota n and supposed to continue tomorrow. She said it did the same thing last year and the apple trees did not produce because of it.
Its been chilly here in Pahrump. I plan on leaving Sunday or Monday as my 14 days on BLM land will be up then. I've enjoyed volunteering and meeting the crew. Made some life long friends.
Last be night there was a potluck and I met even more people. I connected with a couple I hadn't met and the wife and I really hit it off. I think we'll remain friends as we have a lot in common.

Last Thursday April 7, it was about 86 degrees here & The Rogue Valley. This Tuesday & Wednesday, it snowed some & rain. Not much snow here, just an inch or 2 (we need the moisture. We're in a drought). It's too bad there isn't a pipeline from Minnesota. It's melted & sunny/warmer today.

It's wonderful you are making some good friends, Meo.
Drive Safely.
One woman I met is facing the first anniversary of her son's death. I was able to share that It had been 5 years for me and that it took 4 years until I had reached the acceptance stage.
People don't want to talk about it but it's important to recognize that the child from your heart is gone and it's important to recognize that healing from that is darn tough.
I know that just recognizing her pain and allowing her to cry helped her a lot. I think we'll become good friends because she has finally found someone who acknowledges her pain and respects that it's okay to have that pain.
Grief is a process and takes it's own time. I wish people had quit telling me to get over it and allowed me whatever time it took. I plan on being there for her for however long it takes her to move onto the acceptance stage.
It's one of the what I call God things, where it just so happened that I sat by her and her husband. I didn't know them but they recognized me because I'm Marigolds mom and everyone admires her and the fact she's sticks close to the car and me.
The couple are cat lovers and impressed by my ambassador, Marigold. They walked me back to my car after the potluck which is when she shared her pain.
You just never know in what capacity you are needed but it felt so good to be able to help her and be there for her.

Serendipitous that you were at the right place at the right time. Be well.

Meo, what a beautiful post, and how wonderful that you were able to be there for that woman. I am so sorry that anyone ever told you to just "get over it" -- that is unbelievably cruel to say to someone who is grieving.
I smiled at your comments about Marigold. Give her a kiss for me.
