Next destination is Carson City, Nevada. 232 miles. The campground is Comstock Country RV Resort 755-882-2445 at 5400 S. Carson Street. We saw a giant sequoia in Independence, NV planted by Teddy Roosevelt, so Norm got to see at least one big tree. This trip so far is beautiful, but we are really climbing....just hit 6000'~~~10 minutes later, 7000' and just saw Indian snow (apachee here, apachee there) and we're in a forest. It is so beautiful here it looks like a painting. Stopped at our 1st open rest stop with the redwoods and snow. It's about 60 degrees, sunny and Chassis rolled in the snow. She is a happy - cool - camper. We thought we were at the highest elevation but we've decended for quite a while and passed another 7000' elevation sign. Good thing we didn't know! Now we are passing through Lee Vining and it's true the Eastern pass into Yosemite is closed but Mono Lake is on our route North (& UP) and it is spectacular. OMG, what a beautiful spot. Just passed Conway Summit, 8,138'. It's hard to keep up this log. I don't want to forget anything and I don't want to miss anything. ~~Exciting day, four deer crossed in front of us, going downhill, from over 8000' elevation. They made it, and so did we but I missed the picture. The other fun thing is that we can clear 13' height with the RV. (Gas stop excitement) Good thing we don't have high ceilings. It's 4PM and we're all set up. Found the TV channels and the dog walk. No dogs but Chassis...Life is Good. We met nice neighbors who are in their 3rd year of RVing. We plan to visit Lake Tahoe, Virginia City, Reno and anything else we can find.
