This was the last day of my voyage to US Nosthwest and Canadian Rockies. I started early from Lake Tohoe. It is worth to know that aroud the lake fuel is very expensive: 2,45 USD per gallon and more… So before driving to the lake fill up – the best fuel prices in the area are in Carson City – 2,10 per gallon.
On my way to the Reno airport I made a stopover in Virginia City – well preserved mining village from the time of gold and silver rush. Yes, I think that this is no.2 tourist attraction of the area (just after Lake Tahoe). You will find there saloons, old-fashioned shops, steam train, long wooden sidewalks and you will feel Wild West atmosphere…
In the afernoon in Reno I returned car and boarded 737 to Seattle for connecting flight to Europe. The voyage is over… I drove more then 6000 miles and saw a lot: mostly the national parks. I am again impessed by the beauty of nature in North America. The Nature – that’s in my opinion what America has to offer to the foreign tourists instead of skycrapers in the big cities…
