And we are off!
Or not. As soon as we hit I80 in Vacaville, the freeway is stopped with traffic. 30 minutes and 5 miles later we make our way through the cause of the back up; a major rollover accident (so much for SUVs being safer, that truck's a mess).
Now we are off. A slow climb over the Sierras and start our way down into Nevada. Our timing must be bad, the highway is backed up with traffic again. Looks like it's just rush hour traffic heading into Reno.
The gas gauge is getting low so a visit to Gas Buddy finds us $3.98 gas! Score! Turns out the Grand Sierra Resort is two blocks away with a Johnny Rockets. Dinner out tonight because we are running late. Normally we will wait until we get to the campground.
It's another 2 hours to Rye Patch Reservoir. We arrive at 9:50, find a site and setup the trailer.
Driving music of the day: Beatles, Sprit Soundtrack, Phil Collins
