June 17 2006



Left Fallon at 7:30 AM on HWY 50 to RTE 341 beautiful ride on 15% grades through old silver mining towns to Virginia City. The Cartwrights were not in town so we had lunch at Muldoon's Humdinger Cafe, it was just as interesting as the name implies, good food and pushed on traversing 11 miles of switchbacks down towards Reno.Took a couple of pictures under the arch . Reno I can take or leave and it seemed seedy so we left. Took I-80 to RTE 89 in California south to Squaw Valley (picture above right) then on to Tahoe City and around the east side of Lake Tahoe to South Lake Tahoe which to me represented a blight on an otherwise spectacular landscape. We had dinner at McP's (it was just OK) and spent the night at the Black Jack Motel (fair).
