Westward
Not foggy, but very thick, moist, heavy air this morning. Karl and I just returned from our morning stroll and I’m making final preparations to depart. We should be rolling within the 1/2 hour – by 7:15-7:30. Today’s semi-plan is Reno-Sparks area but pressure is off and we’ll do what we feel like. I want to enjoy Donner Pass and the mountains as after that it will be downhill and flat until we turn north next weekend.
Hwy 1 north to 280 south to 101 south across the San Mateo Bridge, out to Dublin and north on some X90 route to I-80 east is today’s route.
See you down the road!
Noon – just finishing a long break in the parking area of Weimar Country Store in Weimar, CA – just east of Auburn and West of Reno. Made a reservation in Fernley, NV 130 miles away – should arrive 3:30-4:30 vicinity and have a nice short day tomorrow.
Drive has been fine and pretty as the valley was clear, but there were NO, NADA, NONE rest areas and we got lucky with this stop. Carol, the proprietor ok’d our parking, a nice long walk for Karl and I acquired a wonderful roast beef, avocado, cheese and onion sandwich as well as fuel. Off we go now.
1:30 – an open rest area at Donner Summit, elev. 7227. Light rain, 42F and still a bit of snow on some of the rocks.
3:30 p.m. – arrived Desert Rose RV Park outside of Fernley, NV. All is well and cool at 52!
