RENO, NEVADA

June 10, we pull into the Bordertown Rv Park after spending the night in Cal Expo in Sacramento.  We lost our mirror as you know going through a tollbooth in California, so we are here in Reno and go to Safari Rv and order a new mirror.  They say it will take about 5 or 6 business days so we dig in for the long haul.  This park is next to a small casino and restaurant so it is not too bad.  There is beautiful landscaping in this park and northern blue grass that you want to run barefoot in.  There are hummingbirds and I am posting a picture of a big blue spruce tree which all the cardinals and two big barn owls live in.

We take a trip into Virginia City, one of the oldest silver mining towns in the United States.  Most all of the buildings have been preserved and now hold gift shops and saloon-restaurants.  We eat at the Sawdust Saloon, food so bad, it tastes like sawdust.  Most of the photos I took are of the campground and Virginia City.  Weather cool and wind blows so strong, the coach moves. 

All in all, we are here for 8 days and today the mirror came in and we went into town to get it.  We also go to a locksmith, found out we never had keys for our deadbolt and now our keys are not working in our regular door lock.  However our key fob electrically locks the door, so we will find out what is wrong with the keys another time.  Tomorrow we will set out for Utah, and stay in Elko, Nevada overnight.  We have about 5 or 6 days to get to our caravan in Buffalo, Wyoming.  Well, Joel put on the new mirror, it works electrically, and we will be sure never to go through toll booths unless we are on the WIDE lane.  So enjoy the photos, and see you soon.  Oh, by the way, the large photo of the lady in the silver dress, the dress is made completely of old silver dollars and is on display at the Silver Dollar Saloon.
