We planned the stay in Carson City with the intention of doing some errands together in the morning before getting on the road again. Not only did we have a night of internet, but we got propane, gas, groceries, and went to the post office together.
After all that I got on my bike at about 2:30pm and rode through Fallon to Sand Mountain Rec Area...about 64 miles. It was cool to see jets from the naval air base doing maneuvers overhead. This was a stretch of the classic infinity road that seemed like it ribboned on forever. I went past sand flats, the sand dune at the rec area (with all the off road vehicles).
Cami ate leftovers, read and watched the off road vehicles at the dune for a while as she waited for me to arrive, then we drove to our campground for the night, in Cold Springs Station, where we had electricity, running water and showers!
Downtown Carson City...casinos at nearly every hotel and restaurant
The unpictured corner was the historic building
Time for reflection
Ready to start on the road again at about 2:30pm in the heat. This calls for Da Brim and a sun protective shirt!
There he goes...
Oops...forgot I wanted to take one more package of honey stinger fruit chews for this section
We connected at the Fallon Visitor Center, where Cami had some air conditioning and internet. They filled our water bottles and told us it was only about 40 miles to Cold Springs (no...actually 60! that's a big mistake to tell a biker!)...but we carried on east...
A chair in the shade, mexican leftovers, a good book (thanks, Louise!) -- not too bad of a wait for Cami to make today...
