  1. I have gone all 4 ways. If you live in the Northwest then I would consider the US95 route though Indian Springs and to Parump. No hills, pretty much all freeway or good highway(watch out for NHP in Indian Springs). The Mt. Potosi grade is a tuff pull but if you take it easy and don't get unlucky and stuck behind someone slower than you it get's you there the fastest. Wether you take Tecopa or Pahrump you will encounter one more grade. The road out of Parump is wider, smoother and the grades are less severe. The I15 is a longer pull as Baker is past Dumont and you have to come back to Dumont 33 miles from the turnoff in Baker. I also think the Baker grade is to long and to hard on rigs both ways. I have a 40' M/H and a looong trailer. I prefer to take the Pahrump way and will occasionally take Tecopa rd if travelling with someone else. Hope that helps. Terry PS Nice thing about Pahrump is their are grocery stores and gas stations if you forgot anything and some really lousy fast food resturants if you can stand lousy food and lousy service.

  2. Wow, Thanks guys. I just saw this. It happened New Years Eve afternoon. I was cleaning my ceiling fan over my kitchen table, the table started to tip, so I sort of slipped/jumps and landed at a bit of an angle. 5 inch crack down the center of my Fibula, the part that cradles the knee, broke and crushed it in 3 pieces and broke my tibula in half. 5 days in hospital and rehab and I was able to escape. Harmon Rehab Center should be closed down. I can't pull and weight on it for about 3-4 weeks (they say). Trying to see the ortho doc now and get the skinny on what is going on. Didn't even get a but did get a body pumped full of morphine. zzz,,,Whoa. Then after that, is was IV (something that ended in did Driamdid) every for hours and two percocets in between. Gonna be awhile til this gets better. Have a 10 inch scare down the side to my leg with 17 staples. Need pic's? LOL Thanks for your kind words.
