Day 5
Rain and snow during drive – high in
the upper 40's. Traveling on US 50 – the loneliest road in the US,
we passed through Eureka, NV (“the friendliest town on the
loneliest highway”) that was having a car show festival on their
Main Street. Stopped and looked at cars – great 66 Mustang and
vintage Scottie camper. Continued on to Fernley, where the sun came out and the weather
warmed to 74 degrees. Were going to go out for dinner, but local Casino
was reportedly the best place to eat. Cooked at site instead.
Day 6 Fernley to Lassen Volcanic NP
Great morning – watched CBS Sunday
Morning (well half of it, since it started at 7:00 and we tuned in at
7:45), had big breakfast in the camper and took off by 10:30. Bumped
along on US 50 to US 395 to Susanville and then on to Lassen Volcanic
NP. Stopped in Chester, CA @ the Chester Cafe and Bakery. Cute
little town – had chicken tortilla soup and homemade boysenberry
pie. No ice cream because they only baked the pie off because it was
Mother's Day, normally they sell take and bake frozen pies. Very
good pie!
Arrived @ Volcanic Lessen SP around
3pm. No campsites, except tent sites near visitors center. But we
could camp in the Visitor's Center parking lot. Scott set up trailer
while I watched movie in Visitor's Center. Drove the 30 mile one-way
loop to northern entrance (and far end of the park) and arrived back
around 7pm. Views are awesome. Fancy, smancy dinner of Annie's mac & cheese with hot
dogs, chopped spinach and tomatoes.
