(From March 4th) I brought my Toy Hauler with me to Nevada (for you indoor types that is a trailer for camping) and found a nice covered storage yard to park it a few miles east of town. After work I hooked it up so I could tow it out to storage for a few months. I invited Mom along and she was happy to join me.

After towing for about a mile or so east of town Mom started in with her typical questions such as, where are we going and why are we going here, etc. Well in her defense, when going east of Carson City on Hwy 50, it gets barren very quickly. It looks like the middle of nowhere and that only added to her confusion I am sure.

About two miles east she said  “Wow we are really out here! I don’t think I have ever been here before”. I said “You have a many times over the years Mom. This is the way out to the dump.” She mumbles “Okay.” Because she sounded unconvinced I add, “And it is the way we go to the turn off to Virginia City, which you really enjoy.” Again she gave an unsure “Okay.” Then I turned to her smiling and said “And it is the way people get to all the whore houses.” She looked at me with a raised eyebrow and said, “Because I was out there so often.” I laughed and said “Bad clue?” She remarked “You got that part right…”
