Sunday morning I left the Oregon Coast and headed out on my 2020 snowbird trip! I made a quick stop in Veneta to say good bye to Amy then hit the road. Sunday night was spent in the Kla-mo-ya Casino parking lot.
On the way I passed thru the area that burned just north to Chiloquin. The Collier State Park campground was destroyed along with hundreds of acres of timber and at least a few homes. The Williamson River campground was spared as was the logging museum across the highway from Collier. Some good news is that I left the casino with and extra $5 in my wallet!
I left the casino this morning and drove to Lahontan Reservoir south east of Reno. I stop here each year on my way south. I found a great flat spot between some nice shade trees!
To my surprise, the reservoir is almost empty!
All the other times the lake has been full and there were lots of boaters racing, water skiing or fishing! On the plus side it is very quiet and not many campers. I got here too late to bird watch but have seen lots of activity so hopefully I will get some good lists over the next few days!
It is so good to see these blogs again! I’ll be watching for the next bird list
