Tuesday, 5-4-10
We decided to head for the eastern side of the Sierras rather than Utah. We are kind of bummed to be heading home but at the same time it will be great to be back to nicer weather.
Yesterday we drove all day in 20 to 30 mph winds. If the semi trucks weren’t pushing us to one side the winds were. Fred fought the steering wheel the entire drive here and was exhausted by the time we arrived. Thinking we might do a little gambling, we got a room at the Red Lion Inn and Casino in Elko. But we were actually too tired to move once we hit the room.
It was a long exhausting day and it looks like today may be the same, but hopefully the winds will not be so strong. We have a long drive ahead of us to Reno and we want to get an early start.
Before I sign off, I forgot to introduce Scruffy who has been tagging along with us since Colville, WA. He has had quite an adventure and here are some photos:
