Thursday we were on our way again and after a few stops to take pictures, Mike and I lunched in Carson City at Reds 395 Grill. We opted to stay at the Eldorado Casino in Reno, NV for the night and saw a performance of "Menopause the Musical". Friday we backtracked a little to visit Virginia City. It was touristy, but the original town was intact and we went in a museum about the Comstock Mines and the city. Mark Twain started his writing career here. On the Road Again (we sing that a lot), it was a long shot to the little town of Elko. The scenery varied from the flat Great Basin to the high desert terrain .We lucked up for dinner at a Basque family restaurant called Toke Ona (A Nice Place). We just wanted a steak and potato and they kept bringing out food (bread, salad, soup, vegetables, rice, and spaghetti). It was all very good, but we couldn't eat most of it. Tomorrow, Salt Lake City! It is taking too long to down load pictures here so I'll send them later.
