Today was the last day of the trip. We took our time getting out of Bishop, partially because Lisa's digestion was acting up from all the food we've eaten on this trip, and partially because we wanted to buy more things from Schat's Bakkery before we left town. About 11:30, we set out on the last leg of our trip home.

Our first stop was the Laws Railroad Museum.
( To the Trains! )
We could have easily spent all day at the museum, which we've visited before, but today we did not have enough time. Perhaps someday we'll be able to come down to Bishop again and spend a full day investigating the large number of things here.
( You Can Sort of Go Home Again )
So after a short moment of nostalgia, it was time to get serious about heading north. The portion of this trip between Bridgeport and Minden is a piece of highway that I had not been over since I left Bishop in 1981.
( North to Reno through the Eastern High Sierra )
Lisa, who was feeling better by the time we got to the railroad museum, did most of the driving today, as she had gotten more sleep that I did. (I've had to be up at 4 AM the past two days to do Day Jobbe for a few hours.) Nevertheless, both of us were feeling pretty tired, and while we enjoyed the view from 395, I stopped taking photos. As darkness fell, we continued north into Reno, made a brief stop at the Sparks Nugget to use the restrooms, and set a course for home, where we arrived around 7 PM. After seven days and 1062 miles, our Loscon/Westercon trip was done and we were home.
There will be little time to rest, however, as the first leg of our trip to Worldcon starts on Monday afternoon. We have less than a week to repack, reload, and prepare for our three-week around-the country train trip.
