Hope you get mobile again soon!
We just returned from Hope Valley for the first time Loved it. I think it will be our favorite quick getaway.

How can you say that when you can come on down the hill and go to Dayton State Park?
Heck, you could come on down and stay for both days of Dayton Valley Days on the 15th and 16th. I'll be there in one of the booths on the 16, but I can't tell which booth.

OK, I'll put it on our list and I promise, we'll compare it fairly!
Actually, I should have said Hope Valley would be our #2 quick getaway. Our driveway probably should be #1: pinyon pines, dirt roads, wildlife, low traffic, and .... water/electric hookups for "free"!

Jim, we have an excuse not to visit Dayton State Park, we live about a mile away and it's kind of like staying at home. So for us, Hope Valley is the best. Easy to get to, beautiful, and far enough away to make us feel like we've been somewhere. But, for all ya'll who live in VC, Storey County, it's a real trip down the hill, into beautiful Lyon County where there's a real destination.
Maybe we'll see you at the VC Labor Day Parade. We'll park in Silver City just to make sure our car is safe.

Good, maybe now that post has been hijacked it will be a dormant issue until the next person asks the opinion.

"Hijacked" is a pretty strong word, mcarter. Perhaps a kinder gentler term my be that it "drifted" a little off topic. But I still think it is perfectly reasonable to keep the fridge powered by propane while in transit.
And you are also always welcome to head out here to God's country and visit historic Dayton, NV, and perhaps even risk going to Virginia City. Take US 50 all the way across Utah and NV.

Oh, mcarter, I assure you we disagree more than twice. But, my friend, if you really want to be entertained, you should come out west and watch Jim aka poston and I argue about local politics. Now that would be really entertaining, though off topic.
How can we convince you to take US 50 west with your refer cheerfully freezing your food on propane as you enjoy the staggering beauty of central NV and our historic mining towns?

lostagain, you win , you are entertaining. Actually enjoyable. A conversation about politics I would find boring. Differing opinions I do find interesting. Nevada is a beautiful state although not convinced God is there more than anywhere else, and my fridge doesn't do a good job of freezing anything no matter how far west it goes. Truce:)
