Our first day

Welcome to our first blog.
Yesterday July 14th we left for our VBLT (Very Big Long Trip - our BLT - Big Long Trip, was in February). We have borrowed the name from Marg when she and Allen had their BLT last year.
After a late start, caused by me, we made it to our first stop in scenic Fernley, NV. When we arrived our temp gauge showed 111 degrees. Hwy 80 between Truckee & Reno had a long stretch of one NARROW lane. I closed my eyes and imagined we were driving down the long runway of a closed airport. Chig wanted to do the same thing : )
We met two couples here from Texas doing the reverse of our trip. They are heading up the CA, OR coast then into Wash state. Their trip will be 3 months - now that's a VVVBLT!
We are now off to the exciting city of Elko, NV. We have traveled this road nearly 100 times in our lives but have NEVER taken this long to get to Idaho.
