Morning came and we were glad that the Sun hadn't began cooking yet, we started dismanteling the "campsite", and no the slide still wouldn't pull in electrically, packed up and ready to go, Jeff pulled his truck up to his trailer hitch and tried to lower his trailer onto the hitch ball. No luck !!! the trialer would not lower, electrically or manually, we messed around with it for nearly an hour before Jeff called a RV repairman, $450.00 later and a new trail...

This morning we left Lake Tahoe, we had prepared everything the evening before and hitched the trucks and trailers and packed everything up so that we wouldn't make a ton of noise for the other campers. The plan was we would leave at 6 am and get going through the Nevada desert affectionately known as "Death Valley" before it got too hot.
