Today I dressed a little cooler than I did yesterday, and wouldn’t you know it, it was only in the 70’s! We also got a little later start this morning than we did yesterday, but fortunately, my sister reminded me that we don’t have to be in Oregon until Wednesday. We were thinking of pushing to get there tomorrow.
We lived in Reno for a month and a half many years ago while we worked the Christmas rush for Amazon as workampers. Before we left the area, we went in to explore Scheels. They had a mountain inside with stuffed mountain goats, wildcats, and other wild animals on it. As you walked around the second floor, there were places with talking statues of some of the presidents. Jefferson said the Constitution of the United States, Lincoln read the Gettysburg Address, etc. There was a plane suspended from the ceiling, and there was a Ferris wheel that Mark and I rode on. The place was more like a museum than a sports store!
Many years ago when Mark and I were Workamping, we worked as Christmas help at the Amazon fulfillment center in Fernley, Nevada. They didn’t have enough room for all the extra help in Fernley, so they put a bunch of us up in the RV park at this casino. We had mild weather most of the time we worked there, but closer to Christmas, all of us workampers woke up to a surprise freeze that froze our pipes. During breaks, we’d huddle and ask what everyone else was doing to try to unfreeze their pipes. We were without water in our RVs for a week! Ah, fond memories… That’s why we decided to come back and stay here tonight!
