Here it is the long drive back to Calafornia.....

 Sunday week two, day one

 Well here we go leaving a little place called Rexburg just outside Idaho Falls we started out trip back to California via Utah and Nevada, only around  1200 miles, easy peasy, gulp!!!!!!

Route was Salt Lake City, head for Reno, then Lake Tahoe via Carson City and onto Sacremento Californee'i'a

Should have changed the care in Denver as its been whinging for a oil change for about 3000 miles, the parking brake has never worked so it proved a bit unnerving on those mountain roads and the small crack in the windscreen was now 6 inches long, oh well change it in LA.

Made good time Jo and I shared the driving doing about an hour stint each time and using all the available rest stops as there were not that many so crossed legs were often needed.

Its a bit perturbing when you have been driving for 285 miles when the mile marker to Reno reads 511 miles, shit thats a long way but nothing to do but push on along I-80 to our first stop at Elko. We made our first stop in good time arriving around 7pm in time to beat the rush to get hotel rooms.

Some  pics of day 1...

 The long and not winding road.
  Wild life to avoid
 My lovely co-pilot getting a bit saltry, opps I mean salty!
  Wanted to have a go but decided I might embarress the pros.
It goes on and on and on and on...............
