Reno, Nevada (start of the journey)

Sunday, May 17th, Reno, Nevada:

Well, tomorrow we start our journey east for the graduations in Fargo, ND and then on to Rochester, NY and Morrisville, VT.  While we have no definite itinerary, right now our plans are to travel across Nevada tomorrow and stay at West Wendover at the Peppermill (now, why does that name sound familiar).  We're hoping we'll be able to play golf in Wendover, but a lot depends on the weather - right now it isn't looking favorable.

On Tuesday, we going to go through Utah and into Wyoming.  That day will consist of half I-80 and half back roads through Wyoming to either Thermopolis or Buffalo.  Then the third day, we'll drive to Mott, ND (still on a combination of Interstate and back roads).  We're staying in Mott because I would like to explore some of the places where Vi's family lived.  I've been in touch with the caretaker at St Peter and St Paul Cemetery where her great-grandfather (on the Schlosser side) is buried.  Evidently, the old church is still there - abandoned, but still standing.

Just wanted to give you all an idea of what our "plans" are, all is subject to change depending on weather or our whims.
