Nevada's Logandale Trails

Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.

No ATV riding is permitted in the Valley of Fire. We visited last year and would have loved to have gone back but with no cell, no internet and not even ATV trails to tempt us, we decided to look elsewhere for someplace we hadn't been and someplace we hadn't seen. Here is the blog I posted last year.

About 50 miles northwest of Las Vegas is the little town of Logandale.  We took a trip up that way on Monday.  It wasn’t necessarily to see the town.  Actually, other than gorgeous homes and a few ranches, there wasn’t too much in the town itself.  Well, we did see a post office and a gas station but that was about it for the town as far as what we saw.  We really went to check out the Logandale Trails.  The Logandale Trails take in the Northwest corner of the Valley of Fire. 

Our site at the park in Las Vegas was ours through Sunday if we wanted to stay put.  A storm was due in on Friday and forecasted to hang around until Monday or Tuesday.  Storms aren’t fun and we’ve had more than our share of them this winter.  Either way we didn’t particularly want to stay in Las Vegas.  It’s another one of those been there, done that things.  The problem is if we decided to move up the road a little to the Logandale Trails, it had to be a short stay because we wanted to be gone before the winds and rain returned.    Obviously, we weren’t thrilled to think about riding in the rain.  We just weren't sure what we wanted to do.  We never really know until after we've done it anyway.

The camping on the Logandale Trails was an option and it was free.  We saw a total of five RVs in different areas.  What we did see a lot of was tour companies out of Las Vegas leading OHV groups. If you camp there, you’d probably really be by yourself at night but have lots of company during the day.

On Tuesday Terry got an opportunity to finally tour the Mob Museum.  He’s not one who normally loves all museums but he did want to see this one and especially since we were so close.  I’m not going to add much on it because I already did a couple days ago on my Mob Museum blog.  You can check it out here.

After our tour of the museum we headed back to the motorhome and made a big impromptu decision.  We decided to move.   I had dreaded the move-out since we moved in because I knew it’d be a hassle and we’d have to ask several folks to move their vehicles.  We also had to deal with the trailer and yadda yadda.  Asking others to move their vehicles was common on this row.  It’s the only way some could get their RVs out and we had watched many struggle.    However, upon our return to the park we discovered the two RVs across the roadway from us had pulled out.  We had a window and our escape would be easy so we left.

Next stop Utah but we weren’t sure where.  We had no idea where we were going but we did know where a couple Wal-Marts were. 

‘Tis life on the road.
