Hey there, we're back in the USA with Dan, who today will be making a delivery from the omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and omnivorous Walmart from Reno in Nevada down through NE California to Sacramento.
Morning in Reno.
Donuts for breakfast? Why not?
A very bright colour scheme for the VNL day cab today.
Been to Walmart, got the goods.
Massive concrete bridges on the way out of town.
Heading south west.
Typical scenery in this area: red 'mountains' and pine trees. Once again different. California is great - hope it gets an update sometime.
I could care less about Nevada and Arizona, but California really deserves a makeover.
Stopping at the weigh station. Oooh look at that, an attempt to 'get into character'. I 'could care less'. Nice. It's those little things that make the difference.
Nice little rustic dwellings nestled away amongst the scenery here near Truckee. We'll visit that place in the next thread.
It was a great drive down to Sacramento.
This is, I believe, the American River. Not a very original name, but at least it's not called after something that already exists in Europe.
Took a shot of the other half of the river too because that water is looking pretty darn nice.
Exit to Sacramento blocked. Lucky we didn't want that, eh? Oh, wait.
Well, it wasn't a big detour, and we weren't pressed for time, so no harm done.
I like this paint job but it is a bit over-bright. We'll go back to black but without the horses for the return journey.
Let's finish off with a few views of Sacramento. It's pretty nice.
If I eat many more of these I'm going to turn into one...
Bye for now!
Dan
