DAY 1: Santa Cruz, CA-Wells, Nevada
Managed CA traffic like a champ. Sierra Nevada was exciting, so happy to see first clumps of snow on the ground. Joyful to drive thru. Hitting Nevada less joyful, would have taken a pic w. the “welcome to Nevada” sign but it came up too quickly. Desolate drive, but dust storms add some interest. Also: finally figured out cruise control (What! Why have I never experimented with that little lever before! My foot will not be permanently cramped!).
Averaged about 38+ miles per gallon, Matrix is eco-friendly, wallet friendly adventure pod on wheels. Roll into Wells at dusk, balance bar and applesauce for dinner (which I promptly spilled on carpet. sorry Motel 6).
