Thursday Morning...................

and we're sitting in the parking lot of Winner's Casino in Winnemucca, NV. Had dinner here last night and "paid" for the "free" parking. It's a grubby little casino, dinner was OK and believe I'll go in and try some of their biscuits and gravy. Got a little chilly last night and now I discover that the coach batteries are not charging when we're traveling down the road..........one thing after another. Had enough juice left to start the generator and batteries charge with the generator running........but not charging when we're driving down the road????

Got tremendous gas mileage yesterday....filled up in Evanston, WY and then it was downhill all the way to Salt Lake City, then level ground nearly all the way to Elko where we filled up again......you ready for this??? 8.493 mpg! Of course the mileage dropped into the low 6's when we were climbing the mountains and fighting the wind. Getting a "freebie" from the Scottish Inn which must be nearby; anyway, picking up a great wifi signal so thought I'd give you a quick update.

We'll be leaving after breakfast....only about 3-4 hours to Reno and then we'll have to decide to stay and let Reno pay for our three month trip; or, drive on home???

Gonna be a tough decision. Later. W&B
