We'll be in Reno the beginning of September and we always like to do a side trip. Been to Tahoe many times. Truckee a few times. Looking for something different. Has anyone been to the Graeagle area, Portola? I like it's on the edge of Lassen National Park.

Virginia City! Bucket of blood saloon!
Never been there myself, but it's clearly the place to go.

You might like Nevada City, California, about 90 miles away. There's lots of information on the web. Here's a link to a pretty informative site.

thanks for the tip on Nevada City... will definitely look that up. I've been to Virginia many times. It's always neat but was looking for something different.

Have you been to Bodie? This is a very interesting ghost town that has not gone commercial. It is now a state park.

If you go, stop and eat dinner on your trip back at JT's in Gardnerville on hwy 395. Wonderful Basque food.
