We found this neat place at the end of I-80 in Nevada. Looks like it should be good for a couple of nights to rest and recuperate before heading out on the road again. Of course, we started out in the rain three weeks ago and ended up in a thunderstorm when we returned home to Reno. The temperature dropped about twenty degrees from when we last gassed up in Winnemucca until we arrived home (home, now there's a beautiful word). Vi did a great job of driving across the good old USA and got us safely home today.
When we left Rawlins, this morning, we crossed over the Continental Divide and then we crossed over the Continental Divide again. Not sure where the water flows that is in the basin between the two divides, but I'll leave that for the geologists to figure out. Saw lots of pronghorns as we came across the prairies of Wyoming. They're a funny breed, neither deer nor antelope, but their own species.
Stopped in Wendover, but just for lunch before heading across Nevada for Reno. As we got closer to Reno, the clouds started building and the winds got much stronger. Guess they thought it was appropriate to welcome us home with rain - the good thing was that it cleaned a lot of the bugs off the front bumper and windshield.
The blog now ends and we'll keep it as a record of our trip across the country and back again. Didn't see many comments, but I hope you all enjoyed it. Did it more for my own purposes, but the side benefit was to keep you all informed of our whereabouts. Hope you enjoyed it. We had fun visiting friends and family on this trip - good times at all locations.
