The gate's a zoo at midnight, and it is too damn dark to find a decent place to camp anyway, even if you're placed it can be a pain. We wait until dawn.

Not a lot of line-up room either, so we don't leave Fernley until 4 or 5 am. And if we get stuck behind a slow-moving trailer, well that's alright too, it ain't a race.

We've been working on our "no drama" mantra to include the drive. I must say, that's been nice.

Next!
