A line from Johnny Cash. And, is that snow?

Reno is located in Nevada and is the poor brother to Las Vegas. You might remember the line from a Johnny Cash song, I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

And on to Utah...


No it's not snow, it's salt. This is in Utah on the salt flats. We walked out on to a small portion of it. I never actually tasted to see if indeed it was salt but I'm pretty sure it was.

America is just full of surprises, isn't it.

Lake Tahoe

We spent about half an hour on the shores of Lake Tahoe, which is located in north-eastern California, right at the border with Nevada, at an elevation of 6225 feet above sea level. It has a connection to the Godfather part 2 movie. The Corleone family had a home on this lake. This is the place in the movie where Fredo goes out in the boat with someone, says the Hail Mary, and then you hear the gunshot.
