Day two - Tuesday

We left the Freightliner shop at 12:30 p.m. and headed east on Hwy 44. As we approached Susanville, we saw a huge column of smoke from the latest fire in Plumas County. Wow, what a fire. Smoke wafted all the way into Nevada.

In Reno we stopped at the Grand Sierra Resort, which used to be the Reno Hilton, where we gambled a little and had a very nice buffet dinner. Ann played slots and I put $10.00 at 15-1 on Carl Edwards to win the NASCAR race on Sunday and $10.00 at 12-1 for Carl Edwards to win the championship. Now you know who to root for.

After leaving Reno we drove to Winnemucca where we spent the night in a rest stop. It was a 350 mile day. Nothing too exciting but we put some miles behind us.

Watch all the racing you like, but as long as Maria Shiarapova is playing, i think i have to stick with tennis.
