We were awakened at 6:30 this morning by reveille blasting out from loud speakers all over the base. And it wasn’t the short version! I did turn over and go back to sleep for another half hour. We packed up and were on the road by 9.
It wasn't the Sierra Mountains that got us but a 10-mile shortcut that Bill’s GPS (otherwise known as Lola!) guided us down. It was a 2-lane, twisty highway that was a little bit of a nail biter. Otherwise, the trip was quite pleasant, and the scenery very pretty. Today’s photo is coming down from Donner Pass.
We arrived here at Fallon NAS about 1:30. This is a minimal campground built in what used to be a parking lot. There are concrete pads, electric, sewer, and water, but the rest of the area is gray gravel. We did a minimal setup, hooking up just the electricity and not putting the slide-out out. The laundry is free so we did the sheets, towels, and a load of clothes.
Bill went to the commissary to pick up a few items, and he fixed some fresh asparagus, meatloaf, and mashed potatoes for dinner.
Tomorrow we head south in Nevada to a place called Tonopah. It is a Ramada gambling casino, hotel, and RV park. Should be interesting.
