Yesterday afternoon we arrived in Reno around 4 pm after what felt like a quick 7 hour drive. We were pretty excited to cross into the Pacific timezone about an hour and a half into our drive. Everyone had warned us about keeping an eye on our gas, and an eye out for gas stations, in Kansas, but honestly Utah/Nevada was WAY worse. You could easily go 120 miles with no sign of anything. The ride was pretty, the colors and brush were much different from our previous days on the road. At one point, our GPS showed a huge body of water next to us, and when we turned to look it was completely dried up. Guess that's what a real drought looks like!

This is a video of us coming out of the mountains in Nevada. Isn't nearly what it was when we were coming into Salt Lake City, but we thought it might give you an idea of what it's been like in our teeny little car.
Reno is definitely an interesting place. It's a lot of strip malls, and obviously, casinos. We decided to lay low and eat dinner when the old folks do at 5 pm. We did a little snooping on Yelp and found a great Thai place that delivered and so it was Pad Thai, Coconut Curry Soup, and some Pot Stickers for us.

After that we called it a night and were in bed by 7:30 pm. We're off this morning for the last leg of our trip!!! It will take us about 3-4 hours to get from Reno to Pleasanton. I'll start in my new office tomorrow and Pat is hitting the ground running getting back in touch with some of the connections he made while we were still in Boston. We'll post again tonight!
