A 2013 Chevrolet Captiva LTZ which was my rental car for the California portion of the trip. I decided to rent a small SUV for this
trip due to the amount of driving through mountains I ended up doing. For reasons unbeknownst to me, it had Colorado plates. |

Donner Lake as seen from a vista point off I-80. Amazing, I had just rode the train
through here the previous day on the other side of the lake! |

| The lovely little metropolis of downtown Truckee, CA. This is Donner Pass Road. |

| This is like a scene out of the Billy Crystal movie "City Slickers"! Here is a real cattle drive somewhere near Portola, CA! |
