Tuesday, 6-24-08, Fallon Fairgrounds Campground, Nevada
Today we got a pretty late start. On top of that, we had to go to Carson City to get my briefcase. We also stopped at the thrift store to get some shorts for a few of us, good buys. Then we went to the store and bought some food for lunch which we ate at the park. Finally we drove back to Fallon where our bikes were waiting for us at the Gunns' house. After visiting with them, we left about 6 Pm. We pedaled into town to look for a place to put our tent. After I got directions to the Fairgrounds, I saw one of Willie's old wrestling rivals, Colin Merkeley. We talked for awhile. Then another wrestling rival of Paul's, Frank De Bragga shows up. They were pretty impressed we were going across the country, couldn't believe it. After saying goodbye, we headed up to the fairground camping area. It was starting to get dark by the time we got everything set up. It was only $5.00 to stay, which included hot showers, so it was good. The sky was still smokey from the fires in California. We only rode 8 miles today.
