Over the Sierras and in to Nevada

The two day climb was a drag and a bore, but there were highlights. Parts of California actually looks like Lapland, only more grand. Up on the mountain there was snow and the air was fresh. I could breath again.


However, the highlights more often involves the people I meet, generally very friendly and hospitable. I have been really well received, everywhere.

But there are contrasts when it comes to the American Hospitality.

On the one hand, they might well come up to you and offer you any kind of help that you seem to need or might want. But on the other hand, they would also put up barbed wired fences and signs saying

"My dog can make it to this fence in 2.8 seconds. Can you?"

(I don't know and I don't think I'll care to try)

Anyways, I have now reached Carson City and my CS host Mikes' place (VERY friendly guy who doesn't even lock his door). Laundry is done and I am about to go and do some shopping. Tomorrow I am off to Fallon, and then it is time to hit the desert.
