Scamping report: Left In-N-Out Las Vegas NV at 10:00 pm fueled 3 gas cans at Durango near the 215. Short stop a Indian Springs for coffee, some rain and wind but OK. Nice night ride but the only problem was road debree no hits but some close calls. Stop at Amargosa ( home of the Cherry Patch ) rest area short break and while parked, the scoot tip over on it side ( top heavy ) gas secure but dump a gal of kool aid in the box and bent the mirror extention.
Continue trip. Arrived at Beatty NV, at 6:00 am pitch the tent at a small rv park, sleep 1 hour. Got up did load of laundry and 2 hour touring Beatty. Park manager subjested that I go too the Hot Springs about 6 miles north. Meet the caretaker and Indian named sixtoes. Did same and for $5.00 got to enjoy the hot springs. Nothing like sitting your naked butt on warm wet rocks. ( meet up ideal, lol ) Travel about 15 more miles north just for the ride.
Returned to Beatty, enjoy ice cream and coffee at the famous Nut Store. At noon took a 2 hour nap. Tough call,go back or on to Tonaphal. Chose to head back ( time limited ) and enjoy the view I missed at night.
Scoot ran well average speed 28 miles an hour. Total miles 300 home by 10:00 pm not bad for a 24 hour turn around. Still waiting for my really long ride. Thanks for your concern. See you soon

Sounds like an adventure. I dunno how you do the limited sleep. If I sleep for 1-2hrs I wake up more tired than without sleeping. I used to think I couldn't fall asleep on a scoot like in a car, but after a lot of riding I've learned that's not true. Please make sure you get enough rest to keep alert on all of your adventures. It's really not cool nodding off for even a second on a 2 wheeler.

Whole spare wheel/tire assemblies! Nice! If you get another scooter at some point, you should seriously look into one of the delivery style scoots with the big built in trunk. If anyone would put it to good use, I think you would. lol
