Back to the Bay

[kevin_standlee]

I rolled out of Fernley about 8:30 AM. Usually I grab something to eat along the way to go, but I was feeling tired and it was raining, and I thus didn't feel comfortable driving one-handed. I therefore stopped at Boomtown and had a sit-down breakfast at their coffee shop, which is an Original Mel's franchise.



Here's what it looked like in the Boomtown parking lot as I walked back out to head up into those cloud-shrouded mountains.

The drive was pretty much routine other than the rain. I've driven through worse. I spent an hour visiting my sister in Sacramento, dialed up the Giants game for the drive onward (hooray, beat LA 3 out of 4 games), drove to Lodi Junction and refueled, then on to the Bay Area, where current plans are for me to be working here until Friday.

I've been to the Mel's in the Sands plenty of times ($4.99 steak and eggs for the post-playa win), but I didn't realize there was one at Boomtown, as well!

It's a relatively recent change. Until not too long ago, it was a Denny's. Mel's appears to be an improvement.
