Coming Home

 Morning Coffee on the sunny shores of Topaz Lake.  This was an overnight stop just south of Reno, we didn't want to arrive in Reno in the dark, trying to find a place to stay.  This was a nice quiet (even if it was on the side of the highway) RV park. 

 Reno from a lookout on the road to Virginia City.   A bit of a change since I was there 36 + years ago.....

Virginia city - now this hasn't changed a bit, still the wooden sidewalks and tourist trinket shops.

Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe - great skiing this year, still lots of snow.  We took a quick ride up the gondola to have a look around at mid-station....skiers and boarders everywhere.  Too bad we didn't bring our skis!

   of course there is always the lunch stop. Nice little Irish Pub!  Potato Leak Soup and CURRY fries
                               yum yum...

 As we get farther north, it is getting colder, burrrr.  As you can see we are not the only ones headed north now.  RV parking at 7 Feathers Casino was full.

 Another Casino for the night - real campsites here at Northern Lights, Anacortes.  Yes, those are puddles you see, and they are very deep!  and it's still raining.   We just did two very long driving days - today was in the rain through Portland and Seattle - whew! we made it.

 

Yeah, springtime is here.
