Burning Man 2002: On to Reno
It's an uphill climb, but the trusty old truck still has it. She's gone to the playa every year since 1998. Ranger Lefty just had her serviced, and she's a much better ride than when I drove her back from Burning Man 2000.
 Almost a mile above sea level. This is where we start seeing signs about the infamous Donner party. Some year we'll have to make a mid-year trip just to explore Emigrant Pass and these environs. But not today.
 The ride onwards and upwards was eerily quiet this year, probably because it was the middle of the week. Here you can see us on a stretch of highway without a single car visible in either direction. But Ranger Lefty had a good selection of tunes, which helped.
 The mountains look so inviting. I'd love to take a week and travel the crests (while doing a bit of peak bagging) and later the troughs (perhaps via a river). Other than there was a lot of pioneer travel through these areas, and there are still some ruts and artifacts to be seen, I don't know much about this area. My loss, I'm sure.
 Before I realize it we're coming up on Reno, Nevada.
