Travel to Salt Lake City

This is the approach to Reno, NV from Virgiania City. When we got to Reno, we discovered there was a big motorcycle rally going on called Street Vibrations. There were thousands of motorcycles roaring up and down the streets. We only stayed in Reno a couple of hours, long enough to lose about $40.00 playing the slot machines.
We headed accross nothern Nevada towards Salt Lake City. This is some of the scenery we saw. The Truckee River is in the background with a small ranch in the foreground.

The open road with desert scrub and bare mountains in the background. A very boring drive.


We heard about this beautiful lake off I80 not far from Reno. This is Pyramid Lake named because the island has a pyramid shape at one end. This lake in on the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, the Paiute Tribe. The water is as blue as Lake Tahoe. Worth the drive to see.
