Snows!!

 

Today was our traveling day and we woke up to snow all around us and 37 degrees.  The snow was on all the hills and mountains and missed us!  We were on the road at 8:35 am.

Tully and I found part of a spine last night on one of our walks.  If I had a bigger home, I would have brought that with me.

Even though it was chilly, it was a beautiful day for driving.  We never hit snow on the roads. 

This is Walker Lake in Hawthorne.  It is a huge lake, and it doesn't have any more fish because of the salinity levels.  And since the fish are gone, so is the wildlife.

Traffic wasn't all the bad as you can see.  This is such a beautiful country!  Getting out of the desert and into the mountains....fresh air, cold temps, and blue sky!

Most of our drive was like this until we got to Carson City.  Where is everyone going at 11:30 am?  Doesn't anyone work anymore?

More snow, but not on the roads.  You can see where the snow stops on the mountains/hills, and where the green begins.  It is so gorgeous around here.

Here is our view out of our living room window.  Look beyond the trailers and look at the snowy mountain in the back ground.

Ethel Louise was pooped after that long drive!  One of the first things that I had to do when we pulled in was to turn the heat on.  Since we will be below freezing tonight, we will fill up the fresh water tank and unhook the water, and turn on the heaters to the fresh, gray and black tanks.  I love this cold weather!

We are staying in Boardertown Casino and RV Resort, in Reno.  We walked down to the casino for a late lunch and one of my favorite sandwiches was on the menu!  Monte Cristo!  I think it was one of the best ones that I have ever had!  I saved half for breakfast.

Road Hog had one of his favorites, (and Aune's!) a French dip!  It has been so long since he has had one of these.  Afterwards, we had to donate some money to the casino.  Well, I donated, Road Hog won.

It has been years and years since we have been in Reno!  Big time winner here!

And here is Farm Man Road Hog cashing out.  (Where in the heck did those suspenders come from?  😂
