Planes, trains and automobiles!

Well, we are still in Reno (leaving this morning), but in the week since our last blog quite a bit has happened. Well, maybe not all that much, which could explain why we haven't exactly been burning up the pages of this blog.

We settled in at the RV "resort" at the Grand Sierra Casino... the closest casino to the Reno Airport...and boy! don't we know it! It actually is a pretty busy RV park, and we get to use all the amenities of the Casino (airport shuttle, business office, etc). But it is lacking a bit of "ambience"

Last week we took a drive up to Lake Tahoe. We drove the Mt. Rose Highway from Reno up to Incline Village at the lake. Turns out it is a spectacular drive, going past Reno's "local" ski area and with fantastic views of the valley. The snow is rapidly melting in the Sierras, but it has been such a light snow year that flow in the rivers and streams, normally gushing at this time of year, looks like August. Some die-hard skiers were still skiing at the top of the mountain.

Last Tuesday Stacy flew to Seattle for a quick visit with Evan. She had a great visit, while Jack stayed in Reno nursing a cold...and eating! (Is it "feed a cold, starve a fever"?)

Today we are heading north to Burney Falls, California.
