September 2nd 2017 - The drive from Winnemucca to Rancho Cordova

This was our last day of our vacation as we drove from Winnemucca to Rancho Cordova, but we made the most of the trip none the less. As we drove on Interstate 80 from Winnemucca towards the Sacramento area, we stopped in Lovelock Nevada for the lovers plaza to add a lock that we had to the vast collection of locks that already existed. This collection of locks started in 2005 when a couple placed the first lock there on Valentines day.

We were thrilled to add our own lock here, especially since our own anniversary will be here in the next couple days.

We were also surprised to see one of the old style Safeway stores. This is the style of store that Karen, Mike and Eric have all worked at during one point in time in their working careers.

We continued the remainder of our trip home, arriving to Rancho Cordova around 3:45 on Saturday afternoon. The estimate was that we would drive the motorhome 2,328 miles. In reality, we drove 2,308, so only about 20 miles less than originally estimated. Also, we got on average 7.6 MPG on the Allegro bus. We were very happy with how the Allegro bus and our new Jeep Wrangler performed.

Safe travels all!
