We'll be leaving on another trip to Pioche in 9 days and let me tell you, I'm pretty stoked.
We'll first drive to Dugway Geode Beds in Utah, where we will dig for geodes and I thing we're guaranteed to find some. I'll be taking a shovel, bucket to carry them, spray water bottle, all sorts of things.
They are in Simpson Springs, Utah
This is one area
This is what the area looks like.
I've read that the BLM goes out & digs up more areas once in a while.
I hope to find a couple cool ones, I hope to find enough that I can share and give a few to Jeremy so he can cut me one.
Then we'll continue on to Pioche. There are several ways to go between the two places but the dark purple line is one we haven't taken before.
I've been planning the things I'll be doing when I'm there, one of which is painting the basement walls. Currently they are gray concrete and purple paint. I've read that you're supposed to use a certain kind of paint on concrete but I'm sure they didn't use that special stuff before so I'm going to paint over it with the paint I have, a light gray. It might brighten it up a little bit.
I'll be pulling weeds again, tumbleweeds.
Lan will be working on the sewer lines and a bajillion things inside the house. We're ramping up for when we take down the bathroom, utility room and kitchen but there's so much to do before then; basement, clearing out the interior of the rooms,
We also need to pay a few bills while there too, the garbage bills is $150 for the year, too bad we can't just pay for the time we're there, and the truck tabs are $741 (yikes) but I have called our local DMV and its half as much to get license and tabs in Washington than it is in Nevada.
We will utilize the town pool, its ALWAYS nice to go for a dip when its blasting hot.
We're leaving home on May 21 and heading to Utah but we'll need to sleep somewhere along the way so we got ourselves a free truck canopy and we'll build a bed in the back. The bed will need to be big enough for Lan to sleep on it, so at least 6'3" and that only gives him a couple inches leeway.
Lan wanted to paint it but that's just one more thing to do and he's already too busy doing shit here and he did point out that it matches the SXS.
Yeah, we'll be taking the Can Am too, its why we bought the house down there in the first place.
Oh yeah, we've got the shed frame up, now just needs the roofing put back on and I'm hoping to find Costco garage sides for free that I can put on it. It has seven 12' corrugated green fiberglass panels for the roof but one is broken so I want a clear or opaque panel, for additional light. We're going to store the new cart and Kenny inside this.
