A cold snowy week!

After the snow on Tuesday and looking at the weather for the rest of the week we decided Wednesday would be an ok day to head for Sparks and do our running around.  So we headed out in a beautiful winter wonderland.  You'd never know the mess flooding and snow had caused and we had no problems.  

We stopped at 4 wheel parts in Sparks and bought a small air compressor that we can keep in the truck or trailer.  Then on to Sam's Club and we got two new batteries for the Jayco.  We've only had one since we bought the trailer but decided that we needed one more, and the one we had was bad. Kinda sucks for an only two year old battery, but again we don't know how old it was as they didn't punch out the year on the old battery.  But now we're ready to go with 2 new ones.  

After that a trip to Sam's Club and then to Big 5 for some new shoes for Ken.  Decided to head for Carson City and some Chinese Food and then headed home.  Again because it's a minimum 50 miles anywhere from home the day was done. Reno is about 90 miles one way from our house. 

Yesterday we enjoyed the snowy day and there really wasn't much that could be done in the snow.  Don't think temps got more than the high 20's.  

Today, we decided to head for Fallon and get Ken's Senior Access Pass for the State Parks in NV.  Know we will be staying at some so we didn't want to take the chance of not finding a ranger or visitor center open.  We actually didn't make Fallon as we stopped at Fort Churchill State Park on the way and Ken was able to get the pass there (we stopped the other day but no one was there).  After that we turned around and came home.  Ken got the batteries hooked up and some other stuff done, so it's looking like we'll head out on Monday.  
Ken and his new access pass!

It's one of those times again, that it's hard to leave because we like it so much at home.  But i'm sure once we get going we'll be glad we did.  On to warmer climate!
