This was a trip we took to Monterey, California in March 2011. It was still pretty snowy and although most of the time the roads were good. There were some interesting times.
We got to drive past the Bonneville Salt Flats. This was the first time we had ever driven this road during the daylight. It was very interesting. It really is very flat and barren.
When we got to Reno, Nevada the road over Donner's Pass was closed so we headed south through Carson City and South Lake Tahoe. It was interesting how the snow started just as we headed into the mountains. We got to Tahoe and found that to go further we would need chains, it was getting into the evening so we stayed there in a little hotel and I went and purchased chains and had them put on the car. It snowed all night but the morning was beautiful and the roads were being plowed. We drove easily down into California, removed the chains and then drove through the rain to Monterey.
