Into California

Brown is the new green

We crossed the border into California this afternoon.  We drove over 200 miles on Interstate 80 across the state of Nevada we pulled into Coachland RV Park in Truckee. The drive was an easy one but the scenery wasn't so great.  Lots of sagebrush and sand, and nothing else to see for miles and miles.  At least this highway was 2 lanes in either direction so we didn't have to pull over the let cars pass us like we had to do yesterday on the 95.  Let's just say, brown is the new green in Nevada, everything is so dry.

We listened to a Clive Cussler audio book yesterday and today to help pass the time on these long driving days.  Only trouble was that today Dirk Pitt was underwater about to run out of air and his ship was about to be rammed by the bad guys just when we pulled into camp.  Now I'll have to wait two whole days to see if he makes it out alive.

The view from the Dog Park

Coachland RV Resort is really nice, but the sites are really close together,  We can practically touch our neighbor's slide out.  But, there are lots of large, beautiful Sugar, Ponderosa, and Lodge pole pines throughout the park.  And the doggie area is out on the edge of the forest.  It smells so fresh and the wind is whispering through the trees, it's really very nice.  We are going to take a break from driving and stay here for two nights.

I'm glad we are in the trees tonight, because I get a little sad thinking about the fact that we are heading south now and will be back home soon.  I'm not too sad, we still have a whole week left and more places to explore!
