SPARKS, NEVADA, 1535 PDT: Really not much to report with today’s travel toward home in Oakland, California, except for Thunder Mountain Park. You’ve got to click on that link and you’ll get a big laugh out of what I actually saw. You’ll learn the real truth about it, unbelievable as it is, and this character who actually walked the earth and created this Thunder Dream of his.
Thursday is planned to be a shorter day for traveling. I’ll not take I-80 down from Sparks, Nevada (too rough of a road). Instead we’ll get onto 395 south to 88 west which will drop us in Stockton, then I-5 and I-580 to Oakland.
