The Last Of It ~ Hallelujah

We were sorely tempted

to skip the Reno portion of our

trip and head straight home from

Mt. Shasta.

Home at that point

 was only an hour away.

It was already 4:45 PM.

 Home in one hour

or on to Reno,

another 218 miles to go.

Reno or Bust!

 

There's miles and miles

of high desert to drive

through on the way to

and from the glittery lights

of Reno NV.

Reno is a bit shabby, but

what the hay.

  

We go there to

see the shows and to just get away.

Not that we needed to get away

any longer at this point.  

We had already been gone

forever a week.

I didn't take photos

while in Reno.

Let's just say:

What happens in Reno

goes undocumented...

Hey, nothing happened.

We're grandparents for goodness sakes.

wink wink

We did see a show 'Illuminaire'

and enjoyed our time there.

 

 There's very little

of interest on this highway

for this non desert loving gal.

So I'm going to show you the

highlights of driving through

this stretch of road on our way home.

Now,

Don't Blink

or you'll miss 

seeing the town.

That was Hallelujah Junction, CA.

Here's one of

California's Roadside

Attractions.

Nothing but fun

I tell ya.

Shoe Tree,

just 2 1/2 miles north

 of Hallelujah Junction.

Tied one on did you?

Lame, I know.

OK then,

here's a spot of color

besides  the sage/grey/green

along this forsaken~barren~treeless~landscape.

Red Rock

Yep, that was the highlights.

Now, onto greener vistas. 

Heading back towards

Mt. Lassen.



Just another hour,

through the mountain

passes and we're home.

 Finally!

Yep, Poke me ~~~

I'm so done with this road trip.
