Reno, Nevada

We drove from Mammoth Lakes, thinking we would stop at Bridgeport, CA for the night. Bridgeport is near Bodie, the most "complete" ghost town in the West.  But we found out that the road to Bodie was still covered with snow, and Bodie was only accessible if we drove 50 miles out of the way. We decided not to go.

We drove the June Lakes loop, passed through Lee Vining and Bridgeport, drove by Topaz Lake,

And entered Nevada.


We are staying at an RV park at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno. We are "lakeside"... but the lake is a cement pond, not very picturesque. And Reno is, well, Reno.


We went into downtown Reno today. This weekend, Reno is hosting a girl's volleyball tournament and the National Bowling Championships.

Bowling, every family's favorite recreation
It has a beautifully developed River Walk along the Truckee River, and it was a bright, sunny day.
