Adam visits, Heading for Silver Springs and Best in the Desert Race this week

 A quick blog post as we're leaving this morning! Yay! It's that time of year again for Best in the Desert, Vegas to Reno.  

Adam called on Sunday wanting to know what we were doing on Monday. I told him we wouldn't be home as we were going to Reno.  He decided to come anyway and spend the night.  😁💙

We got home from next door just as he was getting out of his truck. Monday morning we all left about the same time. He headed for Bridgeport and possibly camping and we headed for Reno and Total Wine.  Then Walmart in Carson City for some grocery shopping. It was about 1400 when we walked into Betsy's Big Kitchen. 

I sent Adam off on his drive with a sandwich and chips...

We pulled into the driveway and Adam's truck was there.  He got home about an hour before us. Because of the smoke in Bridgeport he didn't feel like hiking or camping so he came back.  😃

We visited awhile and Ken cooked some chicken for him.  Went next door and visited with the doggies there for a bit.  Some tv at home then bedtime. 

Lila loved Adam...

So did Mugsy! 

Tuesday morning after breakfast Adam headed home to CA.  I followed Ken to Silver Springs to drop the 73 Dodge off at Johnny's property.  Johnny, Kelly, Joel and Randi had just arrived when we pulled in.  

Someone had a very bad day at Washoe Lake State Park!

Nothing left, even started a small fire in the trees surrounding
the area...

We had a nice short visit while they were getting set up and then we headed home. 

I spent he afternoon making 7 layer dip and some deviled eggs to take to the gathering in Silver Springs.  

7 Layer Dip...

Ken brought the Mansion to the driveway so it'll be easy to load up.  We're leaving this morning.  It's only about 1/2 hour away which really makes it nice.  The only drawback to this trip is the heat!  They're expecting triple digits all week!! Hopefully there will be a breeze, but we'll see. 

Not much cell or wifi service in Silver Springs.  

Thursday we will meet the group in Gabbs, NV for lunch about 105 miles away from the camp.  They'll take their side by sides on a backroad ride. We'll take the truck and whoever else wants to ride in a/c...LOL.  

The race is on Friday and we'll be home on Saturday.  Should be some fun filled days! 

Time to get a move on!

  1. Sounds like fun to me. Sad for the people that owned the rig. I wonder what caused the fire?

  2. Oh no! Those poor people with the burned trailer. I sure hope it was not a rental!
