Made the Move to Reno



The day before we left Hemet, we met up with Tom's cousin, Susan, from Atlanta. We had lunch in Temecula and had a great visit. Diane, a good friend of Susan, came also. We had heard so much about her, and now finally got to meet her!

The next day we hit the road to Verdi (suburb of Reno), where we'll be this summer for a change. Our good friends Paul and Mary live here, so we'll do lots of stuff with them. Seems there's always something interesting and fun to do in this area.

On the way here, on the first day we ran into the a lot of heavy side winds just south of Bishop, CA on the 395. It got to be a little uncomfortable watching the rig leaning and swaying in the rearview mirrors. Also there were sign posted for campers to get off the road due to the high winds. This is the first time in our fulltiming life we've had to do that. Parked in a large truck lot and settled down with no electricity, WiFi, or TV. We were way too tired to play card, so we decided to sit and talk!!! Holy Mackerel! It's amazing what we learned! What an experience! Ha.

Here's just a few pix of our new home for the summer. Gold Ranch Casino and RV Resort, Verdi, NV We've stayed here before but just for a week or two. There's beautiful mountains in any direction you look. The heated pool is not open yet, but hot tub is open year round. Decent restaurant and also a Jack-in-the-Box!
