I was working in Reno but missed the truck stop casino and pistols. I'll be back out there though. I appreciate the insider tip.Desert Dirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413559978573420359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564385258186045514.post-75290489614040098802012-01-08T00:46:27.255-07:002012-01-08T00:46:27.255-07:00Very entertaining.

Further down the river, on the Nevada side, where it's winding through some hills. I saw a two-track that went along the river and up and down those hills and found a place to park at the next exit. I only run about five miles, probably a good warmup for you, but if my heart doesn't explode going up those hills I feel pretty satisfied with myself.<br /><br />I've run right in Reno, too, up a big hill. I just pulled over on an exit ramp where I saw some motorcycle tracks going up a big hill and ran through the streets to the foot of the hill. On my way down I saw a cop car parked behind the truck, but he was gone when I got back.<br /><br />By the way, there's a TA truck stop in Reno with a casino in it and the waitresses at the restaurant are actually not rude. On the walls, the owner has a huge pistol collection with a lot of old pistols in it, if you like huge pistol collections with a lot of old pistols in them. <br /><br />I prefer the waitress, probably even huge ones, but it is interesting. You can see the evolution of the pistol and he's got pistols that were owned by Elvis or Ronald McDonald or whatever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
