Today was a pretty boring 7-hour drive from San Jose to Winnemucca, NV. From Reno on, there was nothing to see except miles and miles of desert (see photo). Probably more of the same tomorrow until we get to Salt Lake.
As there is no sightseeing to talk about, here are some random topics:
Weather. We have been extremely fortunate with weather. With the exception of an overnight rain in Kansas City, we have seen nothing but great weather. It has mostly been around 90 degrees, except for higher elevations where it was a little cooler. We have had many days where there were no clouds to speak of. We are a little concerned about the weather in Yellowstone as there can be snow in October, but even that looks good. All things considered, the weather really couldn’t be any better.
Best Deal. Without a doubt, it is the National Park Service Senior Pass. You can get a lifetime card at 62 and it gives you and three others free admission to the parks. It has saved us over $100 so far and probably will save double that by the time we are done.
Did we really go coast to coast? Our answer is yes, but we include our vacation in Ocean City, MD. We were in the Atlantic in late August and we put our feet in the Pacific near San Francisco on Saturday.
