Ep. 338: Mesquite | Nevada RV travel camping

[@RamblinRoadies]

Good call Marc. Sun Resorts us where we stay when in Mesquite. We also met Irene Iron in the park last time we stayed there. Proximity to Smith's and the gas station is unparalleled. ⛽😎

[@GrandAdventure]

No doubt, Frank. After staying just about everywhere in Mesquite over the years, Sun Resorts has become our go-to.

@@GrandAdventure Welcome! My late brother lived in Vegas for over 30 years. He had been a driver for Greyhound taking tour groups into Utah and Colorado. I heard him mention various locations but never looked them up until UTube. Cheers!

I’ve watched this episode a few times! After I do, I make plans on visiting the great places you’ve visited and shared. Recently we visited Ocean Cove and had an amazing time!

[@GrandAdventure]

That's terrific, Joe & Rosa! Thanks for sharing that. Ocean Cove is such an anomaly, and in a good way.

Glad you made it back home, we enjoyed all of your 2023 videos, may not have made a comment, but watched all of them, now you can ski the slopes, thanks for sharing your adventures

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Gary! We'll have fun next week with the annual best-of episode. We enjoy looking back on our season as much as we love bringing it to you folks.

[@bigjimslade6250]

Another good video. The Sun Resort looks very reasonably priced & conveniently located. We always seem to learn something helpful from your videos. I think that we’ve watched every week for two or three years now. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the season recap next week.

[@GrandAdventure]

We sincerely appreciate your loyal viewership, Jim! Thank you

[@Volunteersunrise]

Glad you are home safe , Marc. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you in Quartzsite. Pet Zoey for us. It was a great year.

[@GrandAdventure]

It sure was, Dennis. Wishing you and yours the same.

[@MrJennifer02]

Hi I live in mesquite Nevada nice to meet you

[@MrJennifer02]

I work at Smiths I think I have seen you before I work front end courtesy clerk

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Mr Jennifer!

[@geraldsouthard7092]

Marc, thank you for another wonderful season! Our paths were close this year when we were both on the Oregon coast (we were in Winchester Bay, you were just a hour south of us). Looking forward to the 2024 season. Been following you since you would post links to your adventures on iRV2 (way back in the day). Hope that you and Mrs. GA have a wonderful holiday season…and some epic days on the slopes.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Gerald! Wishing you and yours the merriest of holidays as well.

[@laughingram7287]

We’ve thought about stopping in Mesquite. Nice to see your episode covering it. When you pulled out of the campground there was a Jack behind your left wheels that looked like it was not up all the way. Does it usually sit that low? Nice picture of the snow squalls coming across the desert. Glad you made it back safe!! Ram 👍🏼👍🏾

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks, bud! Yep, that jack was all the way up. In its location directly behind the rear wheels, we've never hit anything with it.

[@usmcshepherdE9]

You all have so much travel experience I am curious no your thoughts double towing? I have a smaller 5th wheel like yours and would like to haul a sxs or motorcycle behind me when traveling to some locations. Thoughts?

[@GrandAdventure]

We've never done it, but we wouldn't have any reservations as long as the primary trailer is a fifth wheel, the hitch for the secondary trailer is appropriately rated, and it's legal to tandem tow in the state(s) you'll be driving in. Realize, of course, that it would make any kind of reversing a nightmare.

[@bobbaldwin9267]

How are you going to get to quartzite in January when you're looking for gaps in the weather in December,?

[@GrandAdventure]

The exact same way, Bob.

[@gorrdd]

Really nice fin-ally, Marc. Looking forward to next week's annual highlights coverage. When you travel to the Q, I gather you don't take your RV if it's snowed in. What do you do, rent one nearby? How does that work out? It would be nice to come this year but I've already taken my vacation time and must continue with the job until I retire. Enjoy, Gord

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you, Gord! We look forward to having you join us at the Q in a future year. We always bring our own rig, we just have to make sure that it doesn't snow on our travel days.

[@gorrdd]

@@GrandAdventure Marc, I gather it's continually 'on again - off again' throughout the winter... like you showed in your video. Always trying to slip between the snow squals. What is the general temperature differential and altitude differential between your SLC RV park and the Q, in January? Gord

[@GrandAdventure]

@@gorrdd The difference is substantial, Gord. Winters in the Salt Lake Valley are quite temperate. In January, our coldest month, it's normally in the 40s during the day and upper teens/low 20s at night, whereas at the same time in Quartzsite it's typically in the 60s during the day and 40s at night. Of course, there can be decent variations from "normal" in either location.

[@gorrdd]

@@GrandAdventure Thanks Marc. The Q is like it is here in DFW. The SLV is 20° less, but not terrible, compared with most places north. I guess last year, with all that snow you had, even the SLV got buried a couple of times. How you you feel about this season? More, less, or the same as last year... which was allot last year? Gord

[@GrandAdventure]

@@gorrdd we're off to a fairly normal start. It'll be tough to top the 903" that fell in the mountains last year. Down here in the Valley even last year, 3-4" was a big storm, although we got one or two of ~ a foot. There's a remarkable difference between the Valley and the mountains ~25 minutes away, which is what makes Salt Lake City such a livable ski town.

[@jodielangford7837]

Half way thru and nothing about Mesquite WTF what a waste of time nothing about mesquite in the whole video

[@two_boomers_and_a_dog]

Mesquite and Bunkerville, home to the Bundy's, the Hammon's and polygamists 🙄

[@GrandAdventure]

All true, but that does nothing to affect how we feel about that area. Most places across this country have their own set of unique quirks.
