One thing I noticed is that
Nevada does not have any lights along Highway 80. No lights at all. This makes
the drive extremely dark, especially when you are the only car on the road
(like me). I wonder why Nevada is so cheap that they can’t afford to put lights
anywhere along a national highway. I mean, they get plenty of tax money from
gaming right?
Winnamucca – Winnamucca
is a little casino town along the way to Reno and I decided to stop there for
the night because Reno was another 2 hours away. I have never seen such a sad
casino strip in my life. I stayed in the Winnamucca Inn and Casino, which supposedly
had the best hotel in town. The casino in the hotel did not have any dealers
and everything was electronic/machines. I went down the street to the supposed
“best” casino in town and the two dealer tables were closed for the night (it
was only 1AM!). I guess I will have to wait another day to play a few hands of
blackjack.
Sacramento – I really
wasn’t going to write anything about Sacramento because it was relatively uneventful
but I had quite possibly the best French
toast that I have ever had in my life at Tower Cafe. If you are ever in Sacramento, you have to stop by
this place for brunch and order their famous French toast! Tower Cafe, 1518 Broadway , Sacramento, CA 95818
Tomorrow I finally make it to San Francisco and sadly, my
trans-American road trip comes to an end.
