We are on our way...
Our Honda Civic is packed tight and we began on our driving adventure across the country. Our first stop was North Lake Tahoe, CA. Most of the drive was beautiful. The mountains still had some snow and the scenery was gorgeous.
We stopped at Jason's Beachside Grill for lunch & couldn't have asked for a more beautiful afternoon.
After lunch, we were back on the road and began driving through Nevada. The drive through Nevada was flat, straight, and desolate. Not many cars were on the road & it was a bit eerie. At one point we passed a sign that said "Prison Area. Picking up hitchhikers is prohibited." We could see the prison from the road.
I (Court) drove this leg of the trip. Dave was able to get some CFA studying done in the car, while I listened to an audio book of Dear John. I had no idea that the story takes place in North Carolina, so I am really enjoying it.
We stopped in Winnemucca, NV for the night. It is a small town just off I-80. We walked to dinner from our hotel and felt like we were part of some strange, old movie. The town was pretty dead besides the few older people hanging out in bars or pulling slots at the casino. We did get to see the largest piece of drift wood ever collected. It is 1,477 years old. :)
We ate at the Winnemucca Pizzeria. It was pretty good, but nothing special.
Day 1 was a success! Today we'll be driving about 8 hours to Wyoming. It is time to wake Dave up & get back on the road.
