Heading down from Searchlight towards Las Vegas. We are coming into Searchlight and the construction (repaving of the southbound lanes) is ending. Where would they even get these many huge cones and where would they store them when they weren’t in use? What do we have here? Cones, cones and more cones and all traffic on the east side of the highway.Ĭones as far as the eye can see. A long steep climb.Ĭoming up to the intersection of 163 and 95 north where we’ll head…north towards Vegas.

It is 19 miles from the Laughlin Bridge where you start to climb on Hwy 163 until you reach the junction with 95 N.

It’s only about 20C, cloudy and no wind so it’s a perfect travel day. Heading up and then down before going up again. Heading down to the bridge over the Colorado River where we’ll turn right (west) and head up the long, long hill. Six of one and a half dozen of another! Lund would be half way but it’s higher and we aren’t sure if they have hook-ups. So…193 miles to Alamo one day and 353 miles to Jackpot on Tuesday. and usually sunny.ĭistance to #2 Alamo, 193 miles….to #3 Ely, 340 miles and to #4 Jackpot, 546 miles. and besides we aren’t in a hurry and shorter days are much better. Why…well we really like Ely but it’s usually too cold at 6500 ft. In earlier years we used to go from Laughlin, NVto Ely, NV but recently we’ve been stopping in Alamo, NV and then moving onto Jackpot, NV. Today we were on the road at about 8:45am with 193 miles to go.
