Turtle Beach Fish Camp
Snow Flower - CALIFORNIA
Our first stop back in the foreign country of California (as we were often reminded on our trip) was about an hour south of Reno, up the the mountians (alt 8000+) in the "Tahoe area."
Here is a giant sequioa which we camped near.
That's a lotta fire wood - but it was too dry - no campfires!
Kimberly's Mon and dad met us at the camp. It was great to be back in "our country."

Crossing the Great Salt Desert!
Hey am I spelling desert right?
This is the Bonneville Salt Flats and - I just set the land speed record...
In a land ship... Anyone have any french fries and ketchup????????
I have to admit - walking on the salt looked so much like ice I thought I would fall through. But I would float really good in that salty of water, right?
PS, it was a hundred million degrees hot so it wasn't ice but my mind is twisted I guess.
430 miles - 8 hours - three states on a Sunday
This is the view looking west from our camp site.
We left Evanston WY and blew through Utah and crossed half of Nevada, landing here at Winnemucca. Its a high desert.
We are about 31/2 hours from our next stop which is in CALIFORNIA!
Because of the time change (from mountian to pacific) we got a free hour to stop at a casino and have a brunch buffet in West Wendover. (Wendover is in Utah but West Wedndover is in Nevada! Yeah, casinos means buffets...
Evanston, the last stop in Wyoming
We stopped for one night just outside of Utah or just inside Wyoming (a state we spent a great deal of time driving through).
We were treated to a free concert of Sara Evans and Danny Gokely (of American Idol, from Milwaukee, yeah hey der). They were at the county fair/outdoor rodeo set up for a concert and the RV park was two blocks away so when the wind blew right - it was heaven.
Then the lighting postponed the show and cut Danny's show short.
Before that, we even had time to explore historic Evanston. Everything in Wyoming is historic...
