Conrad, Kathy, and Linda waiting for
the Paul Anka concert to begin. It was an excellent performance. |
 |
Yours truly and my charming wife Linda.. |
 |
The Truckee River the morning after we
evacuated from the Hilton KOA Park. We had to get up at 4:00 a.m. to
move. Linda was not a happy camper. |
 |
The water was about to go over the bridge. |
 |
The street is right in front of the
Hilton. My inflatable kayak would not fit under this bridge. |
 |
The Reno DMV was in danger of being
flooded. Fortunately the rain stopped and the river quit rising. |
 |
On our way home on hwy 6 the 2nd day of
the new year. It was a miracle that we made it over
Montgomery Pass in this heavy wet snow. I did not install chains.
My tires are All Weather Michelin, which performed very well in the snow.
Stopping was a problem however. I definitely should have put my
chains on the truck. I think I also need to buy a pair of chains for
the trailer to facilitate stopping. |
 |
The traction I had with the truck and
5th wheel was excellent, I guess because of that 2,100 pounds of tongue
weight from the 5th wheel. |
 |
Look at the size of the these snow
flakes. I loved the excitement and fun of driving in the snow, but
the fun would have been gone if I ended up in he ditch. |
 |
This is our site at the Bishop RV Park
we stayed in. We had to wait for a kid to shovel out our spot. |
 |
Departing the next morning in Bishop
California. |
 |
They got allot of snow for this
elevation. |
 |
It was a beautiful clear crisp morning
at 26 F. The Sierra Nevada Mountains were beautiful. |
 |
Meghan couldn't wait to get into the
snow for a romp. I took her for a mile walk along a canal road.
She had a wonderful time running and digging holes in the white stuff. |
 |
There were areas of fog in the Owens
Valley. |
 |
South of Bishop 395 was in excellent
dry condition with very little traffic. We had a pleasant ride home
while listening to a mystery book CD named "The Color of Night" |
