Nice stay in Reno 5-21

Yesterday started with a lovely visit and coffee with a good friend. Then we loaded our overnight stuff in the truck, turned off everything in the trailer and took off. We stopped at the new Blue Goose art gallery here in Chester our friends have opened to see it for the first time all finished. Deb was there so it was great seeing her for a bit.

The drive to Reno was nothing new. No big changes in Susanville that we could see. Everything is extremely green and there is quite a lot of snow on the tops of the mountains still. We were surprised that Honey Lake was still dry.


Here is Lou and Vickie in their room, I didn't have the camera with me when we hooked up with Charlie and Sharon.


We were going to the El Dorado for one of their show and room packages and meeting two other couples that have been life-long friends. For some strange reason we all got bumped up to Spa suites...wowee, very nice! We even had freshly cleaned carpet...we had to wait to go up to our room because it was drying. I couldn't wait for the show to be over so I could get in that huge jetted tub!!! We had a wonderful dinner at the Buffet and the show was great. We made our donations at the casino and retired to our la-ti-da room. I enjoyed the heck out of that tub...over six months since a soak...lovely. The king size bed was really comfortable and the whole room was big enough we could have parked our trailer in it with room left over!







Today we met our friends for breakfast...Larry passed on eating, he was still full from dinner and then we headed for Fallon. It was really windy in NV today and it was warmer in Fallon than Reno...the wind in Reno was blowing off the snow covered mountains. We dug into our storage for what we needed and put some stuff in there from here and off we went back here to Chester.





It was getting cloudier the closer we got and after coming out of Buffalo Chips Pizza in Westwood where Larry always has to go to get his Beefy Cheese sandwich the clouds were huge and black. As we left Westwood it started snowing...a big, SARCASTIC wahoo! It was cold, windy and snowing...not what one wants to see when residing in an aluminum box...ha ha ha, some people don't care...we don't like it at all. Not to mention we were really hoping for some nice weather...it is almost the end of May for goodness sakes! The lake looked like an ocean with the angry waves, and the snowy cold made steam rise off the road and lake. Oh well, just glad we will be moving on soon. Larry would have had us hooked up and down the road if it wasn't for my workshop...ha ha ha.
