My first day on the bike today! We left from Carson City, Nevada at 8 am and departed for Fallon, Nevada. We rode 65 miles through the desert and arrived at Numa Elementary School for lodging.
After a quick break, we left for Fallon Industries for an incredible friendship visit.
The visit was by far the most exciting of the trip. We were warmly welcomed and while there, we had karaoke and dancing for several hours. I sat and talked with Barbara and Vicky (mother and daughter) for a long time. It was really great to interact with them and hear what life is like here in Fallon. Like many others in the town, they aren’t originally from the area, but rather moved from a larger city, Los Angeles. They said that they like the slower pace and friendly people of the area. Even though there isn’t a lot here, I’m looking forward to meeting the people from the smaller towns.
Tomorrow we will be riding 110 miles to Austin, Nevada – I can’t wait for another great day on the bike!
**. A fun fact about Fallon, Nevada is that is the home of Top Gun Pilot Training
