We’re in Gold Ranch RV Resort located a few miles west of Reno, NV, along I-80. The park is literally just on the Nevada side of the border with K-Stan. I took this picture of our rig in the park and the border was only a few yards behind me. I know this because of Google Maps.
Our trip today took us from Hawthorne, NV past Walker Lake and on up through several small towns, farmland, Fallon, NV and on into Reno. We haven’t been this way in quite a while and both of us were astonished at the urban growth of Fallon. It was just a crossroads the last time with a Naval Air Station being the only Major item. Now, it’s traffic signals, restaurants, Walmart and a bunch of stuff along the main drag for several miles.
We stopped in Reno so Damsel could do a little shopping at Walmart for provisions and also for some warmer clothing. We desert dwellers have thin blood, I guess, and the forecast for the low temperature here tonight is 37°. Not that we don’t get those temperatures too, but that’s not for a few months when it is actually winter. Hell, we haven’t even hit the Autumnal Equinox yet!
Tomorrow is a fairly long drive for us and some of it is through metro Sacramento and outlying Bay Area ‘burbs. We’re eager to visit the granddaughters and great grandson, but we’re not anxious to see all that urban traffic.
