I would have liked to spend some time in Reno and also visit the town where Hop Sing would sling hash. I spent a couple nights in Reno on my way out west. I liked the town. Had luck rolling dice which helped. I was planning on driving through the Donner Pass but weather prevented that. I am fairly certain snow won't stop me in late May. At your suggestion I will stop in Virginia City. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-35466473284275249862016-04-17T20:33:14.999-04:002016-04-17T20:33:14.999-04:00You snob!
