Another very nice sunny morning for travelling.
We made a fairly early start from Reno as we really weren’t sure how long it would take to get to Newark (near San Francisco) as there are so many traffic related variables. As it was we were here about 1 ½ hour sooner than we had planned as we encountered very little in the way of traffic delays – amazingly we actually never came to a complete stop at any time on the freeway.
The interstate from Reno to the SF Bay area traverses Donner Pass. Apparently the original explorers of the area led by a fellow named Donner were trapped by heavy snows for an extended period of starvation giving rise to stories of cannibalism. It is a beautiful area. We stopped at Immigrant’s Pass for some photos and met a little lizard who was enjoying the warmth of the rock guard rails.
