I know I'm late but I've been busy. This is the diner in Truckee that was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. We had lunch there and it was very good. Holly had the lobster mac and cheese. Nice little town to visit. It was on the way to Lake Tahoe and has some nice little shops.
We went to a rodeo with our fellow work campers and had a yahoo great time. Some of those guys are just plain nuts. Those bulls and bucking broncos are wild.They also had calf roping and barrel racing. I don't think I would even try barrel racing, I'd probably fall of the horse and land on one of the barrels.
This is Nancy, Jeff and Holly enjoying the rodeo. Nancy and Jeff were our partners in crime. They worked Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We worked on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We all really worked hard but I think we worked a little harder so they would have it a little easier (they are much older than us).
Holly, Eric (Eric is a full time worker there) and I were called on to judge a pumpkin carving contest that one of the RV rallys had. This is the winner. It wasn't an easy job but we were willing to take bribes.
We took one day and drove around Lake Tahoe. This is a shot of the lake from one of the pull outs. There are some really expensive looking homes around there. No, that's not one of them below. We drove by this barn several times and I finally stopped and took this picture, I kind of like it so I thought I would share it.
Brutus and Ruby finally decided it was easier to get along and have worked out most of their problems. Brutus is still his own dog and Ruby thinks people were put on this planet to scratch her back and belly.
We took a drive up to Donner Pass just before we left. This is Donner Lake which looks a lot like Lake Tahoe. They had snow up in the pass a couple of days before we were there and it was starting to stay around.
Donner Pass is up around 7500 feet and winter was starting to arrive.
Ok here comes the excuse for being so late with this blog. Two days before we were schedule to leave they had a winter storm warning so the owners said we should leave two days early to beat the storm (that never came).
We do thank Wes and Diane for being concerned for us. So we have been on the road heading to Texas. Once we arrived we found out they didn't expect us for another week so we left the coach jumped in the Jeep and headed home for a few days. That's all I have for now. I'll try and be on time for November. Bye for now.
