OK, so I am going to break the posts from the last 5 days into separate posts for each day.
We took 5GBs of pics and 3 mini-DV tapes worth of video.
We left early Saturday morning and hit hwy 50 about 1.5 hours into the drive. Highway 50 is also
known as Lincoln Highway, and also known as "The Loneliest Road in America". There are several
very long stretches of nothing but beautiful Nevada high desert and Great Basin mountain ranges.
There are a few small towns on the way, one of which is Austin, right in the middle of the state. We
stoped for gas in Austin and checked out "Stokes Castle" below.
Yes folks, its cold and snowing today in Reno. Its May 4th by the way. This morning I woke up to this on my back fence. I think it was waiting for CeCe to come outside for breakfast.
We went over the hill again for Linda's birthday weekend. Here is a breakdown:
We got to The Miyako Hotel in Japantown around 9pm on Friday night. Here is a shot of the room:
So I got this adapter for my camera so I can put my fisheye on it. Here are some quick experiments.
Today, while eating lunch outside, I spotted my first herp in Nevada. I promptly identified this little dude as a Western Fence Lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis), although there is a possibility that it might be a Sagebrush Lizard (Sceloporus graciosus). Its hard to tell, but I am 90% sure it is a Fence Lizard. Maybe next I will encounter a rattler....from a distance hopefully.
MMMMMMMM....Chicken good.
...the sunsets were very weird looking.
BACK YARD, YESTERDAY:
