Life here is different

Fallon is situated in the high desert of Nevada at about 4000 ft.
Life here is quit a bit removed from what I'm used to in the city.

















They have all the modern comforts here, but the landscape and weather are very different from our familiar Southern California. The air is dry and right now also very hot; no sea breeze here.
Most of the roads are dead strait and go on for miles.
On my morning walk

The funny thing is that most people live in valleys; by that they mean huge expanses of land bordered by some mountains.
On my walk last night



















People here are very friendly and wave when you pass.
It is fascinating to me to imagine what the first European settlers thought when they hit this country for the first time.

We're spending the day walking, sitting with mom and Patricia planning and booking our next steps.
