10/20/17 - Fernley, NV

Route 66, etc. - Day 32

Wow, what a detour my journey has taken.  I was finally seen by an orthopedic specialist on Wednesday, the 18th, who put a purple cast on my wrist and told me I could walk in the boot.  She told me to come back in 2 weeks but I couldn't just sit around.  Bungie and I are homesick.  So we hit the road yesterday morning and are east of Reno tonight.

I am sticking to I-80 now and staying in hotels.  But hope to get home in a week.  I had to navigate walking in snow at a rest stop on top of a mountain today, but the roads were fine.  Let's hope that is the worst snow that i will see.


And Bungie is one pooped pup.  Watching me drive all day must be hard work.


Thanks to a rented wheelchair and good friends, I was able to do some sightseeing around Eureka.








Loleta hosted Speeder train rides.  My need for accommodations was well met and we had a great lunch of grilled cheese at a cheese factory there.






On Sunday evening I was able to listen to Paul's radio show, whose name comes from the Whippy Dip in Monroeville, IN.  Paul's show

I got to visit Karen's office and their new Hospice Inpatient Unit.  Very nice buildings and setting.


My ortho appointment results:







Happy trails!
