....and it took 6 days


 Reno, Nevada
 


 This is where I stay tonight. 

Thanks, again, to kayak.com I only paid $20.99! By far the best deal I've gotten, on all my trips.














 On my way from Albuquerque, NM to Las Vegas I stopped at this meteor crater that struck the earth like, 50153 years ago. It's said to be the world’s best preserved meteorite impact site.




















 I also got to see the Pawn Stars store in downtown Vegas. Riley and I LOVE that show so it was really awesome to be able to see it in real life.


 






 I even got to have my ring cleaned by them!!!






Then, last night I stayed with a family member right outside of Vegas.















It was really nice to see her, I haven't seen her since I was 8 years old. We had a nice time talking and catching up, I had like, an acre (it felt like) of the house to myself. This house....absolutely incredible. They have certainly done well with their businesses. I'm happy for them :)

This morning I drove from Vegas to Reno, it took me about 7 hours. 7 hours of this:


I'm not even joking.

So, I had time to think, and I have questions;

1) On hwy 93 North, why are there signs that say "crossover 1/4 mile" EVERY 1/4 mile for like, 100 miles??

2) Why don't they use acid for the trash instead of filling landfills and burying it?

3) Why do you mostly see the cities and towns built up against the mountains rather than out in the open desert?

4) Why are most of the UFO "sightings" and alien memorabilia in Arizona? Seems kind of convenient since its the most "deserty" type of land in the country.

5) Why isn't there an Indian History Month like there's a Black History Month?


Tonight, about 15 minutes from my hotel I got pulled over for "drifting onto the fog line" I didn't get a ticket but I realized I was more tired than I thought.
I also lost $30 literally in like, 7 minutes at the casino in my hotel so I guess that's my sign that I need to go to bed.

Tomorrow I will get to my final destination: Medford, Oregon!! And I will finally be able to eat real food, rest, see my parents and some friends....I'm pretty excited :)
