      Carson City

      December 13, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Since the snow situation still hadn't improved, we were a bit clueless and drove towards Carson City. On the way, we did a little hike on the Lake Tahoe Rail, where we should have had a nice view of the lake. It snowed the whole time, and we were walking in snow up to our ankles. After we realized that we had no view of the lake, we went back to the car and headed to the shore because we wanted to go swimming. However, the weather didn't play along and the parking lot was completely covered in snow.
      On the way to the diner we saw the absolute highlight of the city: the garden if the Capitol. Everything covered with Christmas lights. The best park.
      After a nice dinner we explored the local bar, where we learned that there was no club in the city. So we went to Miami Vibes, a karaoke bar. We sang one banger after another until the Nicaraguans also joined, then we had reggaeton and German music after each other.
      The next day (after the boys had rested a bit from the night) we went to the Capitol. Because of the snow there was no guided tour, so we explored the building ourselves. Then we ran through the snowstorm to the best donut shop, and then to the Railroad Museum, where we took a train ride with Santa.

      Carson City, USA

      July 6, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌫 28 °C

      Carson City - unser 4. Stopp des Westküsten Roadtrips. Um dorthin zu kommen, mussten wir den Bundesstaat Kalifornien verlassen und fuhren in den Bundesstaat Nevada ☺️.

      Eine Nacht haben wir hier verbracht, da wir nur den Lake Tahoe anschauen wollten. Diesen sind wir komplett einmal mit dem Auto umfahren. Der See und die umliegende Landschaft war sehr schön (vergleichbar mit unseren Bergseen, aber nur eben ein größerer Bergsee). Leider merkten wir hier nun der Start der Sommerferien und den Urlaubsbeginn an den vielen Autos und dem stockenden Verkehr.Read more

      Carson City

      May 26, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

      The drive from Virginia City to Carson City was short, but through a bunch of old silver (and gold?) mining towns. It was a nice drive.

      Carson City is small, but not as small as I would have thought. First of all, it took forever to get from the outskirts to the downtown area. It is actually bigger than Olympia, Washington. The capital building was not too big. I started to realize that doing this road on a Sunday was somewhat limiting on what I could see. The building was closed, but I walked around the outside.

      I parked across the street, in a nice shady spot. While I needed to stop and get gas and ice, I decided that it was a good place to clean out my cooler. So I put all the food on top of the car, pulled the cooler out, dumped the water and put everything back in. So far, most of the food is holding up.

      Before I left town I stopped at a large gas station for ice and firewood. It was a big Maverick and I figured it would have all that I needed. Gas was only $3.99 per gallon. I went in to buy ice and the cashier said she wasn't sure there was any left. Made sense that on Memorial Day weekend that they could run out. She said that there was one bag left, but it was frozen solid into the freezer outside. I paid for my firewood and said that I would check to see if I could get it out. If so, I would come back in and pay for it. It turns out there was 10 to 15 bags left and easy to get. I took a bag out and filled my cooler, then went into pay. I checked out with someone else, but I really wanted to ask her why she said there was no more ice. Weird.

      Finally on the road again, I headed to Dayton,
