  • Reno Nevada or bust.

    I find myself through no fault of my own enroute to Reno Nevada next week. (by car).

    Anyone been there that has any "must see" places. It's a whirl wind trip, leave Tuesday and have to be back home Saturday night. I need to start manning up and just saying no to my version of MW's house ogre when she comes up with insane idea's..

    Our primary goal is cows walking through town noon on Thursday and rodeo Friday night. 24 hours minimum driving for a 2 or 3 hours rodeo????

    She thought she'd console me and has a list of local gun shops to visit with no money as usual, that should be fun.
    Hope to get to Silver City as I've heard there is good stuff to see there, don't recall what exactly but I'll know it when I see it. Fairly close by.
    She did mention Lake Tahoe which is find is a little over an hour further one way. I told her maybe next trip, hoping there won't be a next trip.

    Really looking forward to the mandatory 12 hour straight thru drive on Saturday, that should be peaceful and relaxing.

    In Vegas, the ranges usually have a variety of fully automatic things to shoot. Maybe some range time could cheer you up.

      I'm cheery, don't I look cheery, why don't I sound cheery?

      I'm going to Reno so I don't know if what stays in Vegas get to Reno or not but I'm cheery.

      I'm sending you a cheery PM, stand by.

        Last time I was in Reno was May 2009. Had a passing through, stop over night. Went straight to my hotel room, locked the door, and made sure both my G23 and coach 12ga were loaded. I accidentally got married there once. 1963. It was a violet attack. I didn't want that to happen again. 2X 'cause it would have pissed off now wife.

          Now there's a thought, could be all romantic marry your wife again. Or, the casinos should have some cheap grub.

            Carson city isn't far. Nice railroad museum there if I recall correctly.
            There's always the Mustang Ranch. Ooops.

              My primary goal at this point is to get out alive and with everything I went in with. I only been in a casino a couple times so I suppose I'll have to go into one of those to see what it's like.

              Imagine they got scantily clad beauties sent by the devil of temptation to lure me into his den, I shall resist.

              I'll do my best to have a good time the 12% of the time I'm not driving, would much rather stay home and watch the weeds in my lawn grow but there will be time for that later I reckon.

                  Tahoe really is very pretty and would be worth the time, but I do enjoy just standing and staring at the country side. It's makes "unsuccessful" hunts much more enjoyable.

                  If you can bum a little money off the wife, you could go here and burn off a mag in a full auto Thompson - http://www.safeshotindoorrange.com/home.php

                      For me personally, I'd love to go to the Comstock Museum Historical Society, or whatever it is. The Comstock silver lode literally change the financial world in it's day! And also the way minerals were mined around the world.

                      That, and I spent three years on the USS Comstock (LSD-45). Perhaps one day I will be able to visit the area.

                        Enjoy yourself and take some pictures to share with us when you get back.
                        Very interesting...

                          You know by the time you get back we'll all be out of control. I can see it now. Next thread will be:

                          "Bawanna's goes to Reno"

                          Better watch Tinman. He'll have all kinds of compromising pictures posted that he will claim is you, and you know he's good with that photoshop stuff.
                          The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

                          Want to see what will be the end of our country as we know it???
