Thursday today and we are back in civilization, Reno, after having spent the last few days tiki touring around a small part of the countryside. First stop was Virginia City which is basically still a cowboy town complete with the wooden boardwalks in front of all the buildings. After that we drove for a couple of hours and visited Bodi which is a genuine ghost town – complete with 80% of the buildings still intact and goods inside them just as they were left. The last person moved out in 1962 but most of them were long gone way before that. Next stop was Lake Tahoe which is up in the mountains at about 6000ft and we spent the night here in the tent – plenty of warnings about bears in the area. Very nice area with plenty of skifields for the winter sport and the lake for summer fun.
Heading off towards the salt from Saturday and again probably won’t have much in the way of internet access but will be back when I can.
