25.08.08 | A Visit To Reno

Monday: (08/25) Another breaking day. I finished breaking out the concrete on the patio for one of the drain pipes about 20 feet long by 8 inches wide. It actually went much more quickly today, I’m not realy sure why? I also finished sawing some of teh concrete by where the bricks were. I’ll be […]

Monday: We prepared to leave Reno. We did some detailed shopping in preparation for being in the boonies.
We took highway 395 South to Carson City. Kenzie looked around the State Museum there while Lou and I took a walk. We then continued on to Minden and got gas then headed South on Highway 88 to […]

25.04.08 | Reno In Spring

Friday: We drove over from Portola California on Highway 70 and highway 35 to Reno, Nevada.

We stopped at Costco there to get something we forgot on our last visit. When we were pulling in to the Costco store our sewer drain outlet hit the ground and knocked the bump protector out of alignment. I […]

Sunday: Breakfast at WWW. Ernie treated us to breakfast at the Wild Wild West Café. We had our usual, the Gamblers Special. Three eggs, three strips of bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99. Very good and you can’t beat the price. Since this is Ernie’s home, he has 2 for 1 coupons […]

Friday: Prep to leave. Major house cleaning by Lou. We took the road along Lake Mead back to Las Vegas. Dropped the RV at the Rio. Picked up our mail. Lou and Dawn went to check a thrift stores as is lot in North Las Vegas and I picked up a cheese cake to go […]

Tuesday: After more grocery shopping, LPG getting, and gas getting we finally left Las Vegas about noon. We headed North on I15 about 30 miles then took the #75 exit toward the Valley Of Fire SP. After finding our campsite here at Atlatl Campground we took a short walk around the campground. It was quite […]

Wednesday: Lou and Dawn had been exploring while I was entertaining Ernie, but today was my turn to use the car. I made the rounds of the computer stores and stopped by the bank. I had lunch at a nice Chinese buffet at Charleston and Decatur.
Lou and Dawn took a bus further out Boulder Highway […]

Friday: Breakfast at the Casino buffet, again. Much the same as yesterday but for $4 it was good.
Lou and Dawn continued on their shopping destinations around Pahrump. I took my shower and checked email. I then started preparing to leave. Dumped and flushed the tanks and filled the water tank. I left the site about […]

Tuesday: We left Bakersfield about 7;30 pm headed East on Highway 58. This morning there had been high wind warnings East of Mojave to Barstow. When I checked this evening there was no warning so we headed out. It was nice and clear all the way to Baker where we stopped for the night. We […]

8.11.07 | Reno or Bust

Thursday: Today planned on driving the car over to Reno for a short visit. Due to weather, length of stay, and fuel costs the RV stays home. I put all the yard plants into the greenhouse a little early this year since I know that our first freeze would happen while we were away. […]
