Today we drove from Winnemucca to Reno, NV.  If you think the highway across Saskatchewan is straight and boring, you haven't driven US 80 from Salt Lake City to Reno.  This is our first visit to Reno and as they like to say it is "the biggest little city in the world".  We were expecting it to be run down and struggling to be like it's big sister city.  So we were pleasantly surprised how busy and well kept the casinos and hotels seem to be.  We lost our usual $50 in the casinos and had fun doing it.  We watched the hockey game and called it an early night before the 10:00 karaoke got going in the Brew House. Tomorrow we hope to hike in Lake Tahoe before heading to Alameda to see Liz and Jared.
