Sheltering in Place
The first inkling that this virus was different than anything we had ever seen was the news from China on January 24 – “China rushes to build 1,000 bed hospital to treat coronavirus patients”. At that point there had been one confirmed case of coronavirus in the US. The first death in the US occurred on Feb 29th. We were worried and kept a close watch on the news stories but little changed in our daily lives. We camped with friends, shared meals, and worked on projects. We discussed what we would do in the event of a shutdown and decided to avoid large cities. On March 15 we went shopping and stocked up a little more than normal. The only things missing from the store were toilet paper and hand sanitizer.Since then we’ve been isolating as much as possible. We boondocked for several weeks with a friend in Quartzsite. All of us knew where the others had been and weren’t worried about exposing each other but now that the virus has become so wide spread we are taking many more precautions. We’ve moved to Pahrump and are boondocking with two more friends but sharing food, visiting inside, and getting closer than 6 feet are all taboo. Trips to town are kept to a minimum and I made Tony a mask.
We went through Las Vegas on our way from Quartzsite to Pahrump just to drive down the deserted Strip. We were surprised at how many people in the rest of the city seemed to be going about business as usual. The stores that weren’t closed were doing a good business and people were taking few precautions.
We’ll probably stay in Pahrump until it’s too hot and then we’re planning on moving to other dispersed camping areas on BLM land and staying in Nevada if possible because it’s so rural that the chances of catching the virus are at a minimum. In the meantime our life on the road is probably easier than it would be if we lived in a house - we’re camping with people we like, we have a nice view of the snow-covered mountains, the weather has been pretty good, we have strong internet, and we’re close to supplies.
Plus wild horses in our camp!
Better than the snake who visited us in Pahrump!
Stay safe wherever you are!
