Sept 18th

Barry and I left Grant’s Pass, Oregon to begin our drive to Pahrump, Nevada. We are stopping in Carson City, Nevada tonight. We are happy to leave the rain.We did see a rainbow!!California has really neat mountains, hills and valleys.And, we saw fire damage areas.Mt. Shasta is breathe taking!!While driving on SR36, we received a low tire warning on the driver’s back truck tire.
Well, thank goodness, we had 10 miles to go to get to Susanville, California.
Driving through the forest with nothing around and no wifi, somebody was watching over us.
We stopped at Les Schwab Tires. They were so nice and fixed the tire by removing a staple and were back on the road in 45 minutes.This is Honey Lake in Honey Lake Valley. It is a endorhiec sink. Since the sink does not flow into streams can or rivers so it produces alkali which turns it to the honey color.Crossing into Nevada at Bordertown, USA. And, we have sunshine!!We arrived north of Reno, and decided to go further to Carson City.
That didn’t happen, as we where getting on 580S, the flashing signs were on. We could not use 580 due to high winds.
We pulled over to decide what to do.Calling around to find an overnight stay and found Sparks Marina. A very nice place, had a hot tub and pool which we enjoyed after 8 hours on the road.The site had Astro turf instead of grass or gravel.
