Day 10 - Virginia City, NV to South Lake Tahoe, CA


We awoke to sunshine!  It was a cold day, and it had snowed overnight, but now it was clear.  We took our time, ate breakfast, and readied for the next leg of the journey...checked road webcams and all looked clear.  So, about 11:00 am we hit the road.  







It was an easy, pleasant ride.  









Along the way, we drove through Silver City, NV - 5100' in comparison to Silver City, MI at 614' elevation.  The mountains are as beautiful as ever.  







On the way through Tahoe, we spotted a couple more murals.We arrived at the hotel around noon and they were ready for us!  We checked in, and waited for the others to arrive.  

One of our daughter's childhood friends and her husband flew into attend the wedding and we all had dinner at Artemis Lakefront Cafe.  Sorry forgot to get pics again!

Our son and grandson are in the air as I write this and we will see them tomorrow morning! 

And in the afternoon, we will watch our daughter's wedding at Logan Shoals.

Day 5 - Evanston, WY

  Day 5 - Easter morning, we left the AB Campground early to try to beat the extreme winds.  We were not successful.  Winds ranged from 20-40 mph with some gusts up to 65 mph!  And we even hit icy and snow covered roads.  Thankful for Rick's great driving and the Lord's protection. First we thought we would go as far as Laramie.  Then Rick thought, "well it's not too bad, let's keep going."  Then we got to Rawlins, which didn't seem to have much to offer and we continued on.  Made it to Rock Springs, and in hindsight, we probably should have stopped there or driven another 100 miles to Salt Lake City.  But we went to our intended destination of Evanston.  Not much in Evanston... We found one restaurant serving food for Easter, Legal Tender .  The restaurant was beautiful!  The food was average and the staff was very attentive and courteous.   We had a deal through Hotels.com for $48 for a king bed room at Grizzly Inn (re...

  Day 6 - Finally a day to just enjoy where we are!  The weather was BEAUTIFUL! 71 degrees and sunny! We will take it!  We did some exploring around Ogden after a wonderful breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Cactus Reds.  Always love the Belgium Waffles!   We drove some winding roads that lead us to Ogden George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park .  What a cool place! Sorry all our little munchkins weren't with us, they would have loved it.  Hopefully they will all get here one day!   6 acres  of      LIFE -                 SIZE                            DINOSAURS and a visitors' center with actual dinosaur fossils found in this area.  I was unaware that this area had found so many dinosaur bones!  There were also amazing gem stones, a dig site and museum-esque hands-on areas to learn about the claws and teeth, sca...

We spent 24 days away and had an amazing time.  It was so wonderful to spend time with family along the way and with our California family, meet new people and make new friends.  Some days were beautiful, some days were grueling.  We saw rain, hail, sleet, snow, near hurricane strength winds and SUNSHINE!  We loved the sunshine! We drove 4,909 miles round trip.  We used 362.248 gallons of gas and averaged 13.55 miles per gallon.  Not bad considering we drove through the high winds, snow and mountains!   Now we are back, unpacked, laundry done and the RV cleaned up and stored for our next adventure.  Where will we go next??? Thanks to all who have followed our trip!  If you have any questions or suggestions, please comment. For the map lovers: Eagle Point Campground, Cumberland, WI Last night on the road. The ride out.
