Sunnyvale, CA – Winnemucca, NV
Miles: 450
We were more less packed, we got up at
7.22 am and were getting ready to leave. It was taking a bit longer
then we thought (as it is case every time). Move all the bags to the
car, clean the place and pack the internet equipment. Return the
keys. We were in the car leaving the apartment complex about ten
minutes past nine o'clock. We had to drive to Comcast office and
return the equipment. Waiting there about twenty minutes. And done …
getting warmer … especially after packing whole car. Leaving
Sunnyvale (237 -880 – 680 – 580 – 5 – 50 – 80). We were
driving to Sacramento to visit J.'s family. Two hours and some
change, the traffic was normal, nothing special on this drive. Sunny,
warm and the green hills turning brown. 12.35 we arrived and meet the
family. We stayed until 3.02 pm, it was really lovely visit, we got
the lunch and some sandwiches for the road. I believe we were all
happy that we were able to make the visit happen. Back on the road.
We had to return to I-80 heading to Reno, Nevada. We already drove on
this road (went to Lake Tahoe), so it was not new. It was nice, but
kind of the same. Pretty warm. We entered Nevada. We drove through
Reno, it did not look interesting or special, few bigger building,
plenty of casinos (Oh Nevada). What else … we kept driving, as we
had plan to stay in Winnemucca. There was few places along the road,
but it was mostly flat and boring desert. Pretty much nothing
interesting, just driving, driving and driving. We arrived just
before eight o'clock, checked in to Motel 6 and had dinner
(sandwich). First day of the trip was behind us.
