Still Headed West

Planned to get some gas and shop for a couple of things in Elko.  We found that Elko is a VERY unfriendly town for large vehicles.  The parking lots of the large shopping areas are posted saying trucks and trailers (and RVs) prohibited.  One shopping area has traffic islands at the entrance that staggered and so close together that anything larger than a compact would have trouble getting through.  We could not find the store we wanted and down town parking was just as bad.  We did not even buy gas.  Went out of town a few miles to a truck stop.  Then on to Winnemucca.  Smaller town pretty much in the middle of nowhere (half way between San Francisco and Salt Lake :) ) but very nice and very friendly.  We stayed in a nice RV park that we have stayed in before and will again if the occasion arises.  Had dinner at a very nice, family friendly, Mexican restaurant with very reasonable prices.  Wish it were closer to us (like Auburn).
