A drive up Monitor Pass to see the Aspens..Plans coming together for a meet up with some Special Friends!
Thursday morning we awoke to a beautiful sunrise here at Washoe Lake State Park. Making it even prettier was the clouds in the sky! We were treated to this rainbow that was so big even when I backed up across the street my camera wouldn't get it all in! Love it!After breakfast and showers we got ourselves going heading out of the campground and over to highway 88 over by Minden, NV. Then we turned on the road to Markleeville. After passing through the little town, we made a left on Monitor Pass. According to leaf peepers the pass was in 75 to 100 percent of colors on the aspens (my favorite tree!). It was a beautiful drive as always, but at the summit the colors were already gone. Either we missed them by a day or two or the wind from the night before took care of that! Oh well, there's always next year. We were still able to capture a little color in the lower elevation.

We stopped at Topaz Lake (1/2 in Nevada 1/2 in CA) to check out their camping facilities, thinking we could put the kayaks in next spring or summer. Might be a day use day rather than camping, but the lake is beautiful!

From there it was shopping at Walmart for some much needed groceries and a few bday cards. CVI for Linner and then to Raley's to pick up Ken's prescriptions. Once we finished that it was back to the campground.
It was very windy, so not working for sitting outside and a fire :( Well, we've got one more night, so we'll hope for Friday night!
After a not so great night sleeping we got out of bed about 0545 to have our coffees and do some visiting with our blogging friends! Frozen water pipes greeted us this am, but using the pump still worked. I asked Ken what he wants for breakfast, guess?! Betsy's Big Kitchen...haha. Then we're looking for a new bar b q to keep in the trailer, a manual hydraulic wood splitter for home and a few other things. 1545 Ken's gastro checkup. It'll be a busy day, ending with some delicious bar b q burgers! Can it get any better?! Oh and I see we're getting another letter from our Marine in the making when we get home!!
Had a great conversation with Deb (Celebrating the Dance)! We're planning on meeting up in Winnemucca at the end of the month and then they'll follow us home for a few days!! Do you know how excited we are! YAYYYYYYY!
