It's been about 3 years since I went to Reno. Frankly, I wouldn't remember the last time I did so since really there is nothing I like to do at the biggest little city in the world.
However, this trip is exciting because I'm going to be skiing at Northstar, the first time I went to some place other than Heavenly. I'm here with my mom's coworker and his family. Since they live in Alameda, they offered to take me up there as well. This trip is only two days - Saturday is Reno and Sunday is Northstar. For someone from the Bay Area, this is a nice little retreat because it's quick and reduces stress from a one day trip, rushing to get up, ski and go home.
What happened today was that we left Hercules at 12:15, arrived at 15:30, and parked the car by 15:45. This was due to the sparse traffic and extremely beautiful weather - full sun with clouds not in the way, snow pushed aside, rain sparse - while driving on Interstate 80 up here. That has hardly ever happened with a trip to South Lake Tahoe, and I would expect to arrive at Stateline around 17:00 and later. I'll see what happens this year.
Not surprisingly, writing this post on the computer without an Internet connection reminds me too much of COSMOS and the Alaska trip, where for a while I wrote my blog posts in a Microsoft Word document so I can upload later. Sure, there's Wi-Fi at Silver Legacy, but why should I pay for Internet access when I'm only here overnight?
There will be some pictures of Reno posted here. I'll see if I can whip up a quick slideshow when I get home. Most likely, I'll be working on making the slideshow for last year's trip to Lake Tahoe and studying for my test on magnetism.
