Reno Nevada or bust.

[ltxi]

I still love road trips.....with a quick, agile vehicle. Biggest and clumsiest I'm willing to go is our Avalanche on every couple/few years trips to Maine so we can easily haul back "Oh look at that, let's get it." stuff. Even back in the day when we were annually road tripping from L.A. into the Rockies for a week or two of four-wheeling, we either slept in the truck or caught a hotel room in some mountain town or 'nother ever other night or three. The largest RV I'd ever consider would be something like a RoadTrek 190.

Well this might be it for me until next Sunday if I wake up.

I sure don't relish all this driving that's gonna happen this week.

Wife told me tonight to figure out where the hotels were and how to get there, figured she's the navigator she'd have done it but wrong.

I should have and in the future will do way more research and planning prior to even agreeing to anything. This trip is just foolish in so many ways.

Not enough time, oh well a whirlwind road trip. At least I got the air conditioning fixed, I'm joyful for that.

That's where the Clint Eastwood movie Pink Cadillac was filmed, at least a lot of it. I'm sure its changed a lot since that movie was made though.

Drove through there once when I was a kid. Lots of lights and buildings is all I remember.

I know what you mean by wanting to stay home and watch the weeds grow....Women

Re: Reno Nevada or bust.

I don't mind driving but a lot of arguments can be avoided if the wife chooses the hotel and restruants. It's hard for them to complain when it's their choice.

I wouldn't let wife choose hotels on a bet. Eating establishments be different.

Greetings and salutations from Kalamath Falls Oregon. Just found the motel, very nice, I couldn't care less, it has a place to lay down.

Only 4 or 5 hours and we should hit Reno. Lot of driving today.

Domino's is delivering pasta, wife's choice. Eat, sleep, be happy.

Haven,t killed each other yet.

Wore new Fist ultra thin with PM45 all the way, forgot it was there. At the last minute I left the Cbob at home. I miss it terribly already. I do have a box of Ranger T, 4 Wilson mags also full and the two PM45 factory mags on me. I think we'll survive.

Time to eat.......

I hope I'm not stepping on toes with the following question ... but I was wondering if it's "legal" to travel from Washington to Nevada while carrying. I know there are those on KahrTalk.com whose argument would be that the 2nd amendment allows for freedom everywhere regardless. But my question is more about the question of "legality" state by state. Best as I could tell from my limited research, neither Oregon nor Nevada recognize a Washington carry permit.

Are we there yet...???

Try and enjoy the scenery Bawanna, your there anyways.

I think your right but I didn't ask and I don't plan to. Probably why I left the Cbob at home didn't wanna take the chance with that.

I don't think they honor ours since we don't have all the silly requirements they do and I'd rather be illegal than have a class, quals, and nagging by a so called range officer expert.

My wife has her 638 too.

Welcome to the dark side.

If Mrs. B is packing too maybe you can get her and yourself some range time somewhere to make it worth it all. Kinda take off the rough edges off the whole trip if you know what I mean.

Agreed Bawanna. Always carry no matter what! Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

[getsome]

Hey Bawann, Hope the trip goes well and you get back in one piece....As for the RV thing, it looks like fun on those commercials but in reality I would rather crawl neked through a sewer pipe lined with fish hooks than to ride cross country with Mrs. Getsome and we even get along pretty good most of the time...

Be sure to stop by the Ponderosa and say hello to ole Ben and the boys...They open carried all the time and even slept with a hog leg strapped on I think so if it's ok for them it's ok for you....Little Joe might be in a bad mood though as on todays show he got shot for the forty eleventh time but he healed up fine by shows end so all is well...

Hurry back now, ya hear!!!

[Bawanna]

Arrived intact 1400 hours. Figured by noon but it was a far piece.

This motel is a big sum bich I'll say that. We're on the 15th floor. Had elevators and everything, that was right handy.

Looks like the desert round here. Gonna decompress and then recon. Could spend the whole time sorting out this motel.

Later.

[Bawanna]

Bawanna and navigator have arrived intact at the homestead. 13 hours and 23 minutes in one shot. Too freaking long.

One bird strike, missed my new week old windshield, hit antenna and passenger side mirror, a little clean up needed but no damage, bird didn't come out so well of course.

I am not going for a long drive in the country tomorrow and I'm reluctant to get back in that van to go to work on Monday.

Nice place to visit, I would not like to live there. Some good things, Harrah's car museum was awesome, Virginia City kind of cool but definitely not wheelchair friendly in the least, actually scary a few times.
Hotel was great, 15th floor, haven't been in a elevator so much since I was on the cruise ship.

Oh well, time to decompress, funny I felt fine driving but now when I sit still I'm kind of loopy, ok more loopy than usual. Maybe get my sea wheels back under me.

I'm glad you're back safe and sound. I hope S.H.M.B.O. appreciates you going along with her desires.
