09/01/2021 Mt. Rushmore Road Trip

Today we left home for our first long RV trip. We're headed to Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota. It's been on my bucket list. Our first stop was in Verdi, NV. It's at the bottom of the summit and before Reno. Pretty country driving over the summit. We stopped at the top and filled with gas and I made lunch. The GPS directions to the RV park were wrong and we ended up in a brand new subdivision. Some houses were already occupied and many still being built. Beautiful homes. I told Barry lets just look like we are checking out the new homes. We stopped on a side street and called the RV park and she gave us the correct address. This time we got it right and arrived at Reno KOA Journey at Boomtown around 3:00PM. It's right behind the Boomtown Casino. When we checked in the attendant told us a lot of people are coming in from South Lake Tahoe. They were evacuated yesterday and today due to the Caldor fire. Nice park and sites. We had dinner and walked the park so we could get our 8,000 steps in. It's funny how you can sit all day travelling and be tired at the end of the day. The smoke from the Caldor fire doesn't help and it's only 23% contained right now.
