Beautiful Rest Stops


















One of the nicest things about RV traveling is you can pick a beautiful spot just for lunch.

One of my favorite highway rest stops is on US395 about 30 miles north of Bishop. We stopped for lunch and a walk in the woods.

Then on the road again….we were going to drive through Mammoth Lakes, but we chose June Lake instead. What a great drive taking the June lake loop road. The fall colors were beautiful as well as the lake.We stopped a few more times before we made it to Carson City in the late afternoon where we were planning on spending the night.


At a shopping center on the south side of Carson City I walked with Coco past a Massage Envy grand opening. The Carson City Chamber of Commerce was having a ribbon cutting ceremony and Coco got involved by greeting everybody in her friendly way. I enjoyed talking to the owners about their new business venture. Then I told them about Caren's little mishap the day before and they offered me their grand opening special of $39 for a one hour massage for Caren and they even had an employee stay overtime to give it to her. It really seemed to help Caren and she was able to come out from the massage table and crawl right into bed for the night.




I drove into the center of Carson City and we spent the night in the Nugget Casino parking lot after I played a few hours of poker.




There is a big storm coming in from the north, (the direction we are heading) and even though we are at 5,000 feet we are planning on going even higher in elevation so we may spend the day and night in Reno tomorrow to let the storm pass.
