Heading for the coast

Day 47:  Another travel day, as we drove across western Nevada on the stretch of U.S. 50 that was part of the old Lincoln Highway and has been dubbed “the Loneliest Road in America.”  This road is near the Pony Express route and was America’s first transcontinental highway in 1913 (it was a dirt road back then).  We stopped to bike part of the Tahoe-Pyramid bike path along the Truckee River in Sparks and Reno.  There was hardly any water in the river, or in the reservoir we camped next to, a few miles west of Reno across the California line.

For Amy, no morning has begun properly before she has her coffee, so we have a French press for brewing coffee while camping.
