-- Crossing the Border...

We woke up pretty early today.  Actually, I had to pee like crazy and stared at my mom until she received my telepathic communication.  Anyway, after a long and blissful visit to the doggy area, we packed up the Supervan and headed east. 

I called shotgun this morning and my mom didn't argue. 

Here is my hairy silhouette as I say so long to the snow-capped mountains...

As we headed toward the Nevada border, as usual, I got sleepy.  When I woke up and looked ahead, the view was pretty awesome.

And each time I woke up, the view had the same colors, but all the pieces were mixed up.  First there was no mountain and a straight road, then there was a big mountain on the right and a curvy road...

Then the mountain was on the left and the clouds disappeared.  I only nodded off for a few seconds, even though my mom said it had been three hours. 

The next time I woke up, my mom made some yummy sandwiches while my dad drove the Supervan.  And I got a piece of bread... happy me, happy me.

But then she called shot gun and I was sent to the back seat with all of the rest of the crap, like my dad's smelly shoes and the laptops.  Okay, I enjoyed smelling the shoes, but who gives a crap about a laptop? 

Oh yeah, that's my favorite baby on the seat next to me.  I was only allowed to bring one toy and that one is my favorite.

We finally ended the day's journey in a town called Ely, Nevada.  The RV Park gave me pause when I saw the sign out front.  I kept my paws crossed that the accommodations inside would not reflect the condition of the sign...

Actually, it wasn't so bad.  There was a huge grassy area and I couldn't wait to take advantage of it, if you know what I mean.  My mom could barely keep up, following behind me with a poop bag at the ready.

Here is our campsite:

Everything was going well... until...

My dad couldn't get the satellite working. 

Too many trees, I said, but did he listen to me?  I know we are camping, but for cryin' out loud, if my dad doesn't get to watch the Fox News channel, it ain't gonna be pretty... 

Finally, he rebooted the TiVo and everything was beautiful again... 
happy me, happy me. 

My dad shared his carrot sticks with me, too.  It's going to be a good night in the Supervan.
