      Sacto to Sparks

      May 28, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F

      It was a wonderful wedding event! 💑 lots of friends and family all celebrating the marriage of Matt and Sara.... but the festivities were not over yet!

      After packing up RV and jeep and gassing up the RV to the tune of $310 to fill the tank ($6.10 per gallon) we headed across town to the Waldrons for a final goodbye to the newly married Mr and Mrs Matt Waldron! Christie and Simon, (parents) laid out a beautiful brunch which we enjoyed outside with most of the wedding party.

      With hugs to all the old and new family, we got on the road about 12:30 pm for our journey back to Michigan.

      Since it had been a fairly late evening (clean up done by midnight) we just decided to give ourselves a short drive day. Only got to Sparks and while Tom drove most of the way, I pretty much snoozed....which is actually too bad because really 80 over Donner is a beautiful drive. The highway itself is in terrible shape, but the views are great.

      Tried Cabellas in Verdi for overnight stay, but this location does not allow overnighters. We continued up the road to a truck stop in Sparks, Petro. Very busy, lots of trucks! Chatted with a couple of drivers (and their dogs) and had dinner in the onsite restaurant.

      Walked Charlie, and they had lots of healthy, thick green grass for her to roll in. While I am completing my journal for the day, she is demolishing a bully stick! Early bedtime tonight, falling asleep to the "hum" (?) of our fellow big riggers!
