A Day Trip

Anxious to try out our newly licensed van on a road trip, we decided to meander on down to Virginia City, Silver City and Carson City. (City would be stretching the description - but a hundred and fifty years ago, they were boom towns for mining) p.s. the last time I was in Virginia City was with my Mom and Dad and Virginia City was less than 100 years old at that time.
We did not realize that it was "Street Vibrations" in Reno and surrounding areas. Thousands of bikers decided to visit Virginia City the same Saturday afternoon that we did. The streets were lined with bikes, biker dudes and dudettes. Lots of activity and Harley noise.
Some politician decided to campaign in a buggy.
In Carson City, Officer Dunmore decided to welcome us to Nevada. He personally stopped us near the State Capitol Building to visit about the rules and regulations of driving in Nevada. Luckily, he only gave us a warning for violating the two important sounding regulations of Nevada State Law he discussed with us. Nice guy.
