We enjoyed the late complimentary continental breakfast at the Best Western in Winnemucca, NV and headed for Susanville, CA about 250 miles away around 10:00 A.M.  It was a beautiful, clear day.  Traffic was light and we enjoyed the scenery.  You could still see snow on the top of the Sierra Nevada Mountains but, it was certainly melting with the rising temperatures.

When we stopped in Lovelock, NV I captured this beautiful railroad station.

As we travelled further west we worked our way through the mountains.

We started crisscrossing the Truckee River as we approached Reno.  The Truckee River was the source of good fresh water for many of the westward bound settlers after crossing the Sierra Nevada Desert.

And there were more great views of the mountain peaks.

Part way through Reno we headed north on US 395.

About 45 minutes later we entered California (I nearly missed the sign).  We began getting different views of the mountains.

This is a picture of Honey Lake just south of Susanville.  It an endoheric basin (I had to look that one up.

We arrived in Susanville and settled into the Diamond Mountain Casino Hotel around 2:30 P.M.

We opted to go back into town for dinner.  We selected the old/new (revived) Pioneer Saloon.  It was a great selection.  You can read about the facility in the last picture.

Another day & another adventure behind us.  We are enjoying life in the retired lane.
