OK, Day 2 of the eclipse trip! Made it into Reno last night. The flight to Reno wasn’t bad. Both flights (PHL-PHX, PHX -RNO) were on time despite the flight attendants for PHL-PHX arriving a little late.
After arriving, changing my clothes and taking the dog for a walk, we rode into downtown on a SCOOTER (I know, right?), and walked around the relatively small downtown (biggest little city!). Downtown Reno itself is pretty small, and much of it has changed since I was here last (when I was probably in my teens maybe)
We got up early yesterday morning to hit the road to Bend, OR. Traffic on the way here wasn’t bad … yet. I can smell smoke and have had ash fall on me from nearby wildfires (luckily none of which I’ve seen). The smell reminds me of camping. Last night after a filling dinner of yummy leftovers we had a rousing game of Ladder Ball.
Today we’re supposed to go mountain biking and then to a local brewery for some good ol’ fashioned beer tasting. For now I am sitting in a quiet house, overlooking a beautiful backyard, and enjoying a mighty fine cup o’ joe.
I’ll write more later. In the meantime, enjoy some pictures from the past two days…
