We left Burley at about 8:30 this morning, stopped at Twin Falls to look at the canyon (including Evel Knievel's launch ramp), then just kept going south. As I said in a previous post, we have been listening to an audiobook while driving & it really does make the time go faster!
About 3:00 this afternoon, be were at the Humboldt River rest area just a mile or two north of Winnemucca. It was obvious we were gonna get a lot farther than I expected us to get today, so I thought, "who do we know in Reno well enough we could ask to sleep at their place tonight?" I immediately thought of Barb Walsh, director of the Bel Canto handbell ensemble. Trouble was, I didn't have her phone number.
So, I called Tess Houston, a fellow Sonosia who used to live in the Reno area & who knows Barb really well & got Barb's number. Barb couldn't put us up, but gave me the number of Lynn, who was happy to help us. In fact, she & her husband Vic insisted on making dinner for us, too!
We arrived at about 6:30 or so, chatted for a bit while Vic grilled the steaks, then after dinner, Kevin got his harp out & played some songs for them (That's the pic on the previous post.)
Now it's time for bed. I'm still coughing - took a lot of Dayquil today & just took some Nyquil now for bed - & am exhausted.
I know I keep saying that, but it's true! I am *wiped out*! Think it's because my responsibilities for this tour are over and school's over, so I can finally collapse.
Tomorrow, we plan to leave at about 8:30 and do some sightseeing in the Tahoe area. We are scheduled to have lunch with Kevin's cousins in Grass Valley, then head home.
For now, good night!
UPDATE, July 9, 2009: The guitars in the picture above belong to Vic!

Hope you are feeling better - Nyquil is the best - helps you sleep and rest. (Rest is probably what you really need, but that's not happening right now, is it? :-) )
