To Truckee

One more gas stop.  This time at Costco in north Sparks/Reno.  This area is GROWING.  We drove about eight miles north of I 80 to an intersection with EVERY major and minor business that you have heard of radiating out from it.  I think the shopping areas came first.  There are houses going up all around however.

Back to the freeway and west to Truckee.  We could have pushed on to Auburn but wanted to see Christina and Roland and our good friends, Jim and Susan Ritchie, said we could park in their driveway for the night. They were doing some traveling of their own.  We got situated and drove the car to Martis Camp where Roland has been working for several months.  He is the pastry chef and sometimes sous chef.  This is a private, VERY upscale resort/community.  I won’t try to describe it.  Money is no object here.  As Roland says, “There is no recession here”.    If you are interested in what’s there go here.  As I said, very exclusive and private.  Other resorts in the area have events that the public is invited to.  This place has events and activities all the time but only for members and guests.  Roland gave us a tour of the “Red Barn” which is the activity center and temporary lodge while the main lodge is being built.

Over the hill to Kings Beach to see Christina and Roland’s new dwelling.  They recently moved to a new place with much more room and a yard.  They are happy.  We had a nice dinner and left pretty early because they had to work early in the morning.
