10/1/18 - Carson City, NV

Today we drove to Carson City, Nevada.  We got a campsite at Washoe Lake State Park.  Just before entering the state park, a horse walked into the road and we had to stop.  He went to the bathroom in the middle of the road and then walked back into the grass.  We got a really nice site with a clear view toward the mountain and the lake. Then we drove into town to Fox Brewpub.  Across the street is the Nevada Senate & House Building and next door is the State Capital.  We walked through both of them.  We got to see the original vault in the Secretary of the Treasury’s office. After that we went to Shoe Tree Brewing where we talked to three local men who were sitting at the bar.  One of them was a combat medic in Vietnam with the 82^nd Airborne.  He also has a band with his wife called the Naked Mountain Hippies.  It’s always fun to meet people when we are traveling.  We made a stop at Walmart before returning to camp.
