The day started a little rough when we pulled up to our favorite Truckee coffee shop only to find a new furniture store. Ok, it's been a few months since we've been to town but does Truckee really need a anoter nick-nack shop. With a quick call to 866-FREE-411 we located Joe Coffee's new digs around the corner but they won't open until next week. 
Nevada looks a little wider when you have to face it WITHOUT a Mexican Chocolate Mocha!
At the back-up coffee joint we ran into Norm of Team Clif on his way to Master's Districts. We, on the other hand, had a race date in eastern Idaho.
Fully cafinated, we headed out into the Great Basin. We passed the time listening to a couple of good books, some new tunes and checking out some roadside attractions. 
In Lovelock we saw a parade and visited a casino.
Ali contemplated entering the amature boxing competition but lost her entry fee to the Betty the Yetti slot machine.Truth be told, it was one of the most stimulating days Ali has had in a long while...

that's a lot of traffic for Nevada.
ah ... the exposed, blasted landscapes of the great high desert.
enjoy!

This is the back up coffee in Truckee. Starbucks is fourth, after the kiosk at the hardware store.
