Donner Pass







Woke up to a nice sunny day finally! We had to cross Donner Pass and I was so happy the sun was shining and we wouldn't have to worry about driving in snow. All of a sudden we were passing car, every so often, with lots of snow on top of their car! It had snowed a lot the night before; but fortunately the roads were clear. The scenery was beautiful and saw people skiing and tubing. Then our thoughts went to the Donner party that crossed this pass years ago and got stranded for the winter. Kind of killed our appetites for awhile. Spending the night in Battle Mountain, NV before we have to cross another pass tomorrow. Listened to the weather and it is warmer in Tomah than it is here..... oh well.
