No need to get up at Audax o'clock this morning but I was still up by 07:15 along with the remaining, er, remainers viz. Joyce, Al'n'Alice and Eleen & Hans. Leisurely breakfast before we went our separate ways. The Van Vugts are flying home from Las Vegas while the rest of us were, at least initially all going west on I-80. Though Joyce stopped by the Civic Center to introduce herself to some of the staff as it looks very much as though she's taken on some, or more, of the responsibility for putting on the show next year. w00t!
I-80 westbound is very much like the scenic joys of 305 south of Battle Mountain except that it's 200-odd miles to Reno instead of 20 to the start of the five mile course. And in rained, off and on, with a serious deluge just shy of Fernley. Wipers to max and still blind when overtaking trucks. Happily it didn't last long. At Reno I turned off onto US-395 northwards. The scenery is very similar except that the mountains off the west have actual trees on them. And that's pretty much all there is to report today. Tomorrow I shall make a concerted effort to find Scenery, History or Both. Should be a fair bit around as I'll be on the California side of the mountains and squarely in 1849 Gold Rush territory.
