Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
Sunday 15th November McDermitt, NV to Fields, OR After breakfast in the casino, we finally crossed the border in to Oregon. This was a particular milestone for us, as apart from a little dip back in to Nevada and California, it was the last state that the TAT finished in. Finally the end…
Saturday 14th November Paradise valley, NV to McDermitt, NV We ended up spending all morning and part of the afternoon with Lee. He was good company, and kindly cooked us breakfast while Ed got to play with his guns out of the kitchen window, before heading outside to do some clay pigeon shooting. …
