Snow!!

Day 5, Thursday
Current Location: Winnemucca, NV
Start Time: 9:00 am (MST)
Stop Time: 4:00 pm (PST)
Traveled: 550 km

Our luck with the weather was too good to be true. Today was a pretty bad day for traveling. I'm feeling a little guilty for making Dad drive through all this. Headed across the salt flats today and into the mountains in Nevada. Hit rain... then freezing rain... then as we went up the mountain SNOW. Dad.... on a motorcycle... driving in snow... 6000+ ft above sea level. It was pretty crazy.

We stopped in Wells, NV., for lunch... it was pretty good but far too much food. You can tell we are headed west by the increase in Mexican food. Mmmm Quesadilla. We stopped early-ish tonight so that dad could warm up. We are fairly close to San Jose now... Could make it tomorrow if we tried hard and the weather was better. But I think Mom wants to keep me for at least one more night.
