We were going to go up from Nevada to California, and Northern Oregon this day.
We drove a couple of hours in the morning on the extremely straight and boring road that we'd driven the day before to Reno. It was boring because this was the second time we were driving this road and also the desert ecosystem gets boring after a while because there are no points of interest once you get used to it.
We stopped at Reno to fill up on gas at Costco, get our tires checked, and eat lunch at Taco Bell. The city is right next to the mountains but it's alright, not very good...a bit rundown and uhh bit crappy. I wouldn't be back in town honestly, lots of homelessness there and industry doesn't appear to be thriving.
From Reno we drove to Pyramid Lake, A really really wanted to see that. It's an amazing place, we take a couple of photos at the start and keep driving the banks of it for hours. Very soon the pitch road turns into dirt road and we're doing offroading for hours and hours. Soon enough it's evening and scary to be driving on a single-lane country road. Fortunately, California comes in soon and our good roads are back again.
Despite being hungry and tired, we keep driving, and surprisingly, shockingly A takes us to Klamath Falls town, way earlier than I had projected we'd get there, because we were running a bit ahead of the speed limit thanks to the straight roads. The town is massive, I borrow his maiju's 20 bucks to buy a nice big premium joint and a gas lighter. We smoke up a bit, and I eat a massive TacoBell dinner.
The motel we stayed at, the Cimarron Inn, was by far the best and the cheapest place we'd stayed over the course of our trip. Not just that, we got a price match from online in the place just for asking, so so much savings, great amenities, and as I will write in tomorrow's post, by far the best breakfast we had on this trip.
