Welcome to Reno...groovy

After surviving the Diesel Fuel Adventure, IKEA Campers, and The Blizzard of Donners Pass we finally rolled into Reno.  Nothng would be greater than finding a hotel and getting some rest. For once we found it right off of the main strip.  It was called the Bonanza Inn and it was awesome.  It felt like stepping back in time (in a good way) when we checked in. The owner had been there for 50 years and there was great pictures on the walls the history of Reno.  The rooms still used keys unlike the little credit card keys we all use now. Unless of course the magnetic strip doesn’t lose in power while you are standing in the snow in your boxer shorts because you had to get something out of the truck.  Sorry that’s another story.  Finally James and I got to our rooms to settle down for the evening.  Each one was decorated from the 60’s yet extremely clean and just nice.  It was exactly what a road warrior would be looking for at the end of a long trip. Ate at buffet, and called it a night.  Donners Pass behind us, we were hoping for smooth sailing the rest of the way. Of course we truly had not idea what the "rest of the way" would mean!
