Great photo'.s.

You will love the trip, amazing area. I lived in the U.S for a while Vegas to Texas area. The open road with such different views, drive safe.

Visited a aeroplane and automobile museum in Hood River in Oregon USA  today. Did not expect to see so much had a great day. Every vehicle and aeroplane was in full working order.The museum was run by retired volunteers who were very helpful and was willing to spend time to chat. See the pics.

We had to replace the Tahoe today because the drivetrain wouldn’t engage 4 wheel drive  so we beg for a jeep but got a ford  4 door pick up with all the the trimmings 

It is a monster  but great fun in the snow very easy to drive  and has good road manners

Well we made it to  a place called June Lake  lots of closed roads driving down from redding

we followed the sat nav route  and ended driving through Reno ?what a totally bad idea 

if we ever come back here again it will be a city to avoid 

june lake is close to mammoth mountain where  some of the best ? and snow 

as for getting around  only 4x4s with traction tires or using snow chains  and that’s the law?‍♀️Good idea for the uk

Glad we change the vehicle 

as for to night the weather forecast is 6 to 10 inches and more tomorrow ☃️

Ok  Reno  road works right the way though the centre on this mini Vegas just total chaos at every junction as for the road markings and traffic lights just drive you mad it’s a shame that on any gps city’s are not an option to avoid 

Leaving June Lake we had to wait for the road to cleared so that we could drive to Death Valley 4hour drive we where told bye the truck s and our sat nav there Both lied ? it took more like 6 hours 

the first part of our journey we had snow for about 1 hour  and got as lost in Death Valley ?

 

We are for 3 days  then drive back to Vegas  to fly home
