Do my errands, escape Reno.
Big meal at Big Ed’s, propane FAIL at Sparks U-Haul, success in Yerington. Healthful walk at Walker Lake.

Familiar drive to Tonopah, more tiring that it shoulda been.
Coffee+wifi at little place in Hawthorne, worsening weather changes whole plan … sigh …

Reverse the drive of two day ago - 93 to 275 to 6.
The drive to Alamo was super-beautiful, fresh snow on the Joshua trees!

US 6 to Benton, then CA 120 (open on Mar 3) to 395 - genius!
Thought I was going back to Hawthorne, but brainstorm! Cut over to 395 instead. Feeling very smart right now.

Try a different way home: 182 out of Bridgeport.
Since NV 439 opened up, I think it’s easier to go through Yerington than Gardnerville/Minden/Carson.
