IMG 2915 Supposed to check out in two hours and go get the van and then drive home and it is snowing, and it is accumulating! IMG 2916 5 minutes to check out time and the sun finally comes out. IMG 2917 Somehow the plan came off and the bike was ridden to and from the hotel. IMG 2918 van updates Van updates! IMG 2919 Your first sign from outside that something has changed. IMG 2920 Burning man fodder?
IMG 2923 Truckee is around 5900 feet. The pass at the top of I-80 is about 7400 feet. Even though it stopped snowing in Truckee and nothing accumulated there, does not mean the pucker factor is gone yet. IMG 2924 Attempt to photograph the large Donner Pass sign on right thwarted by large truck in the way. IMG 2925 Downgrade will get us out of this high elevation quick. IMG 2926 IMG 2927 Stopped for gas, coffee and lunch in Auburn. This place will probably not get a return visit. IMG 2928 They hooked up the power. This is convenient.
IMG 2929 One wonders how long it will be before this van is parked in a full hookup site with hot and cold water. IMG 2930 First thing you learn is not to trap the end of this wire with the fridge slider. IMG 2931 Don't raise and lock the side table while the fridge slider is pulled out. IMG 2932 What is that chain supposed to attach to? [Maybe they bought the sink drain from a marine supply company??] IMG 2933 The galley is new. The dog crate is gonna get replaced by something that doesn't take up like a quarter of the usable floor space all the time. IMG 2934 Those two loose hose connectors rattled and rolled like crazy while driving home.
IMG 2936 Nice big window for what I will now refer to as first-class seating. IMG 2937 November 2021. Long enough for that sticker to dry onto the window. IMG 2938 Now we have freed the wire we get to see the side table deployed. IMG 2939 Nice hour to walk the doggo. IMG 2956 A bit of research so I can talk to the vet dentist about which of his teeth seems to have the problem (P2 or P3)
