Day 83 - Elko Nevada to Lincoln California: Final Day!

It's the home stretch. We are coming home California. But first we have to go through Donner pass in the middle of a snow storm.
The snow is not sticking to the ground and we are going to make it out before it does.

We have gone through so many places and so many more we didn't have time to see.
We learned so much. Every state is different. We always found kind people at every corner. We will never forget all the beautiful people we met along the way: Luis, Horacio and Freddy, Rich and Ruth, Naomi, Zoe, Tracy, Matt, Albert, Gary and Kathie, Julian and Anne, Les and Jane, Heather and her girlfriends, Ricardo, Dean, Otis...
We understand that our experience was limited by the fact that we were tourists, and sometimes it really worked out in our favor. We want to be tourists at home. We might rediscover places and people that were right under our noses and we hadn't noticed before.

A couple of mental notes:

1. We will not make plans for afterwards when we start a trip like this. We want to be more flexible with our time.
2. We will stay in each place at least a week and get a deal on the weekly plan.
3. We will do site seeing only every other day.
4. We will travel on Sunday.
5. We will stay in State Parks as much as possible. They are the best for the best price.
6. We made a detailed list of the things that are left in the trailer and the things we need to bring.
