Ann and I are still recovering from our 2018 Grand Fall Adventure.  And while I managed to make time to watch El Classico (Barcelona won 5-1 - even without Leo Messi!), the weekend was a full one as Ann and I worked through our post-trip recovery checklist to get everything ready for our next adventure - whenever that winds up being.  So after the camera cleanings, and Beast’s bath, and a quick visit to visit mummy, the only thing that was left was to run a couple of prints through the printer and hope that having a 5-week break hadn’t clogged our printer head.  Fortunately, it didn’t.

Our first day of the trip was, in a single word, uneventful.  Which is what you want when you pretty much have a full day of driving to do.  We were on vacation and decided that warranted a side trip on day one to Cinders Cafe in Klamath Falls - a detour of about an hour, plus eating time.  Later that day, Yelp let us down for dinner, but my pre-trip scouting for a dispersed camp site was successful and we nabbed a lovely spot on BLM land in Water Canyon just south of Winnemucca, Nevada for our first night’s campsite.  Willie Nelson definitely has it right, it was great to be back on the road again.
