This is the view from the exit of the Beatty RV Park, Vera took it while I was getting things ready to go.
This is the RV park from the exit just before we left at 6:40. We stopped in Tonopah for gas and while I was pumping gas it started snowing. We didn't waste any time getting out of there and down to a lower elevation. The snow was coming down pretty good for a few miles but after about 10 or 15 miles it quit.
I saw this abandoned mill as we went through Luning Nevada on the way down but did not get a picture. Vera was able to get some pictures today for me.
On one of these long straight stretches I commented to Vera you can sure see where you are going. I looked at the odometer, checked the mileage and it was seventeen miles to the place I pointed out.
As we were coming into Hawthorne this hill is right in front of you and it looked cool with the snow on it.
As we were going by Walker Lake we ran into another patch of snow and high winds. Luckily this one only lasted a couple of miles.
There are some pretty rugged rock formations along the side of the road in the Walker lake area.
These green rocks sure caught our eye, there must be some copper in them.
We got to Reno about 2:30 and stayed at the Shamrock RV Park again. There was snow on the ground this time and it was still getting down into the twenties at night. James was working so we settled in for the night reading and messing around on the computers.
