Billy & I stayd at a disappointing resort in Sparks. it was between the marina & Victorian Square. the town isn't much. it runs over into Reno which is rather bleak as well (altho it does have a lovely new art museum where he saw an exciting exhibition of chairs).
the side trips made the vacation. in Carson City we rode a steam engine train & heard a Kent State grad at the jazz festival. in Truckee we stoppd at 3 bakeries. in Virginia City we took pix of the wonderful old buildings. we meanderd around Squaw Valley & lookd deep into the blue of Lake Tahoe.
Mark Twain's ghost was everywhere. he wrote abt the lake. his brother had a handsome house in Carson City. & as a young man he was a journalist in Virginia City where this picture was taken:
