Day 13 of our 2018 Jumbo Road Trip.
Wendover, UT to Sparks, NV. Zero geocaches today, zero Instagram posts and one crummy cell phone picture out the 8th floor window of our room at the Holiday Inn Reno-Sparks. It rained practically the whole 394 miles of I-80. Still it was not a total loss as what we did see, in between bursts of rain, of this part of the state of Nevada, was very pretty.
Tonight we went shopping to replace my old Merrell hiking boots. When taking them off after hiking in the Monahan Sandhills State Park I noticed that the uppers were separating frome the soles. I’ve had them for almost eight years and they have served me well. I did a little research the other day and decided that I wouldn’t get the Moab Mid Gore-Tex again, but just get the Outmost Mid Ventilator which suits my light hiking needs, is 7oz lighter and 30 bucks cheaper. It turned out to be cheaper still, as a local Scheels had them on sale for $72 instead of $120.
