Pahrump, NV

Pahrump is a small town on the way to Death Valley just northwest of Las Vegas. It's population doubled (42,000) between 2000 and 2007, however since the slump in Vegas the growth has stopped. There was barely a soul out and about the morning we passed through.

We spent the night camping on...



Which we thought was appropriate!

We passed the betting and brothel opportunities but we did have breakfast at Mom's Diner, which claims to be the "Heart of Pahrump". Heart burn? No really it was good.



We stopped for coffee at Cafe C'est Si Bon in Shoshone.



And we got directions to a really cool hot springs in Tecopa (CA).



The area is called the mud lake because the bottom is deep and squishy. They are heavenly hot (112) with a truely earthly beauty. Warning it takes a while to get the mud off of your feet.

Lastly, I leave you with a question. Can anyone dispute that this is the tallest ice cream stand as claimed by the owners?



Remember to get outside and have some fun everyday.
