Driving through snow!
We started out the day in Redding, CA. I think there was a forest fire near by. The whole area looks like it could burst into flame from a static spark it is so dry. Anyway, we could see the smoke in the air for the last few days. This morning you could smell it.
We took off around 9:30 so we could make it to our Camping World appt at 1pm. Mike was up late working so I drove and he slept in the passenger chair. Talk about trust. This was only the second time that I have driven on this trip and he was able to sleep through it. It was pretty easy driving on the interstate and I was comfortable enough that I may try it again someday...on the interstate. We switched drivers outside of Sacramento. Camping World agreed that the Even Brake was broken and exchanged it for a new one...so now we're on #4.
We decided to stay at a casino Rv park outside of Reno and on the way we drove over Donner Pass on I-80. It started to drizzle rain and then it turned to snow and it snowed pretty hard. I mean, it was accumulating on the windshield. How very strange! It was probably in the 80's when we left Sacramento, then an hour later, we're driving through snow. When we arrived in Verdi, 10 miles outside of Reno, the temp was in the 40's and it was 30mph winds.
Tonight we drove into Reno and checked out some of the casinos. It was pretty neat. Not Las Vegas, but I'd say the second best casinos I've been to. The bad news: I lost $15 on the slot machine. Good news: we had a huge dinner for only $12.
