Sunday - drove up to Reno, via the I-80.
Many years ago I used to live in Vacaville which is along the way - it
is amazing how much that small town has grown!
I tried to buy chains in Auburn, but couldn't find anything but the
quaint "Old Town" area. Obviously a town in the foothills will have an
auto parts store somewhere, but I couldn't find it. In any case the
weather radio was reporting open roads over the Sierra Nevada and I
decided to go for it anyway.
The roads were good, all open and mostly dry, with occasional patches
of wetness from snow melt, and a lot of sand and salt which dirtied the
vehicle. I arrived in Reno on time, and with the help of the incredibly
accurate free maps and directions from Yahoo Maps arrived at my sister's place without incident.
