Day 7:San Francisco

haight and ashbury, here we come

decided quite late on what to do in reno. previous day had 9 inches of fresh snow deposit in the mountains and today was t brightest day. perfect weather to ski. to our misfortune. headed to lake placid to ski after lugging heavy uncomfortbale ski gear. i was too warm for my own good. got to the slopes only by 2pm and was on the bunny slopes for the shorter better half, before it closed at 4pm.

aching and pained, pissed being ripped off, cos of our own fault, headed down the mountains towards the pacific. crossing sacramento took the same time as getting to it, reality check, we were in california. hated the traffic, our first jam in the entire road trip. next thing i know, we are crossing the bay bridge into san francisco. meandered around embarcadero and fisherman's wharf till everything closed and journey to the south bay.

miles: 260
fuel stops: 1
hours on the road: 4
states: Nevada, California

interesting day: 3722 miles from start to finish. just shy off 6000 kms. $366 spent on gas. $50 on hotel (thanks to hhonors points). a lot on food and a lot on skiing.
the best part, my car was as good as it ever was and it crossed 129000 miles when we turned it into the parking lot.

14 states, seven days, lots of friends in between, the spirit of the roadtrip.

cant say more than that it was wonderful to have done it.
