Sparks Fly

Lou took Dawn home and had a couple of meetings. I did some minor cleanup of leaves scattered when I cleaned the gutters last night and then cleaned the downspouts. Enough! I pulled out the RV and hooked up the toad, made the final checks. When checking the oil I found the hood latch was broken so I repaired it.

The roofers were working on the neighbors, so that provided some entertainment and the usual morning chat with the neighbors. Before too long Lou had returned and it was lunch time. We walked to Mr Chau's fast Chinese food nearby. We got the low carb meal with vegetables deluxe, barbq ribs, five flavor chicken and hot and sour soup. very good. We can get one order and share and be stuffed.

We were on the road at 1:45 pm. We headed up Hwy 101 to Hwy 92 crossing the San Mateo bridge to Hwy 880. The Hwy 238 to Hwy 580. Traffic was good, though starting to pick up over by Livermore. We caught Hwy 205, then Hwy 5, and finally caught 80. We tried to stop for a break in Rocklin east of Sacramento. They have camping world and some other interesting shops that might have been interesting, but there was no place to park so we got back on the highway. Traffic was heavy passing through Sacramento but eased up after Rocklin. Weather was nice, overcast but nothing wet. We arrived in Reno about 6:45 pm. We parked on the street near the Circus-Circus. We walked around. Lots of places closed, just the big boys left. The new train underpass through town looks nice. We had dinner at Cal-Neva and then headed out. Didn't go far. We saw a nice parking lot at the Nugget with RV's stopped for the night so we added ours to the lot. It was 9pm. We went inside for a short visit losing 23 cents at the slots. Big spenders.

This is a nice place to stay, but may be to loud for some being set between Hwy 80 and the train tracks. We like the sound of trains, ourselves.
