Last stop

Despite being weighed down by the terrible buffet, we pushed through the gastronomic unease and arrive in Reno around midnight. It's our last stop before Arcata. And it's like Vegas without the pretend allure of high rollers and luxury. Just the depressing sight of the elderly feeding their social security into a slot machine as they alternate between drags of a cigarette and hits from their portable oxygen tank. But for $30 the price is right.
