Hot August Nights 2012 - August 6

What a way to start the day. As we pulled onto the street it sounded like we had a flat tire. Tobey hopped out with the pressure gauge and not one, but two tires were low. We quickly checked the internet and there was a Les Schwab Tire Shop about a mile down the road so we slowly crawled our way there.  We only had to wait a few minutes before they could look at the tires. They had to pull all four of the rear tires and took the valve extensions off the inside tires. We had just gotten them replaced, but they were causing the air to leak out. One and one half hours later; fixed, and NO CHARGE! Awesome. We are so thankful it happened where and when it did and not while we were driving.

We arrived at the Desert Rose RV Park in Fernley, NV about noon and met up with friends, Dean and Eva, from Fort Collins. After lunch we went to Reno to Junkees, a combination thrift/antique store. They certainly had a huge assortment of stuff – and nothing we needed. It was a fun place to browse around for a couple hours before heading back to Fernley.

Eva made a delicious dinner, then we took Penny for a long walk. We spent the evening playing board games and tomorrow head back to Reno for the start of Hot August Nights.
