Hi @VanLife Views wow! Welcome in! We are full time as well. How long have you been full time? Moapa valley sounds intriguing. I feel like I could spend a life time exploring Nevada. I have been to Valley of Fire a couple of times but I have not really explored it outside of the car. I hope you get to spend some time really exploring. I did find early morning or sunset is absolutely stunning for the colours hitting the rocks, plus, less people and more "one with nature" time.

If you are thinking of travelling over to Lake Mead Nevada it is absolutely wonderful this time of year. And lots of exploring with some great BLM's.

I find with the RV life, it can be hard to keep the nutrition side up. I believe the better we eat, the better our health, the more energy to explore!

Parhump was an interesting place. I was quite surprised there were so many thrift shops. I have not explored Quartzsite yet, we drove through a couple of times. I have heard it is the place to be in January. I was told that after the gem shows many people dump their stones in the desert. So sad! But, many go and scoop up what they can.

I did not make it to Ballarat Ghost Town. I do want to come back to this area because there is so much to do! How was Ballarat Ghost Town?

We seem to have a similar history. We too lived in AZ for 15 years and will be hunkering down for a fun winter. You must let me know where you end up. I would love to meet up for a chat.

Thank you for subscribing and I tried to get over to your page but I do not see anything yet..I do hope you start writing about your adventures. I will definitely be reading them .

Just subscribed in the last month or so and really enjoy following your journey and all the travel insights. My fiancé and I are traveling full time in an RV and seem to be in the same areas of Nevada as you. We were in Pahrump last week. Then left on our way to Moapa valley for a week. We belong to Boondockers Welcome and stay with many hosts all over the west (as well as camping, and sometimes stopping at RV parks)

We will be moving soon over to the Valley of Fire area. We are slowly making our way down to Arizona (our past home state for many many years till we retired)

We have been enjoying many of the small towns we stop in. We also tour the small museums which are a treasure trove of history.

We check out the small shops and always pick up a local paper.

Hiking, biking and kayaking the west.

Enjoy the nutrition information you share as well since both of us have always had the love of reading all we can on health and nutrition most of our adult lives.

Appreciate the low carb recipe. Will give it a try once we land in Quartzite.

I wanted to stop and check out the thrift shops of Pahrump but had to leave to see family for Thanksgiving....

I was happy to take in Ballarat Ghost Town and Rhyolite Ghost Town as we went from CA to Nevada

Enjoy your travels~
