August 6, 2010 - Destination Fallon, Nevada

We hit the road each day between 10 AM and 11 AM.  We estimated our departure time according to the park's check out time. 

Highway scenery along I-80. We finally left I-80 about 22 miles southwest of Lovelock, NV. The news on the radio kept reporting that traffic was going to be horrible in Reno because of the Hot August Nights car show and the construction along I-80 so we left I-80 and took highway 95 south to Fallon.

Check out the Hot August Nights website:  http://www.hotaugustnights.net/  Miles is hoping that Mike will get out here next year and they can attend it.  That is one of the items on Miles' bucket list.  Don't know what a bucket list is?  It was a movie about two terminally ill men who have a list of things to do before they kick the bucket.  http://thebucketlist.warnerbros.com/  You can create your own bucket list and share it with your friends on Facebook. 


The distance from Elko to Fallon was about 250 miles.  We had originally thought we stop for the night at Lovelock, NV and stay at the Lazy K, but when we got there the park was not the most desirable park. 

The park in Fallon was ok but nothing to write home about so no pictures of it this time around.  They did have a store and a dog park which was 95% dirt but very large so the dogs got a chance to run.  There was a horse next to the dog park which totally freaked Lola out, but not Alder.  Neither even barked at it.
