Yesterday, Misti, Rebecca, and I teamed up with Gene, Ronda, and their kids and made the short trip to Susanville to go see Grandma Garate. Gene hooked up both cars with CB radios, so we could fill the airwaves with trivial banter all the way there. All of us then ventured to Ravendale to check out the Garate and Madeline Ranches, to see what damage occured because of the recent fire. Click on this photo to see more:



When we got back to Reno, Misti, Becky, and I visited the animals at the Nevada State Fair. Highlights: the Guinea fowl, miniature horse, miniature donkey, the baby zebu, the lop earred rabbits, and the baby goat. Click on this photo to see more:
