Truckee, Calif - Friday, 24 Sep 2021, 11pm

Today we packed our bags after work for a weekend trip to the Sierra Nevada to celebrate our anniversary. We're staying 2 nights in Truckee, at a Hampton Inn where we stayed 15 years ago when we got engaged.

The drive up here from Silicon Valley was surprisingly not terrible. It's a trek of 215 miles, and usually on a Friday evening we hit "Friday escape" traffic in various places around the Bay Area and on the road to Sacramento. But tonight the delays were minor. Often a trip this distance means getting in after midnight. We arrived at the hotel tonight at 10:30pm! It helped that we left home at 6:50pm, having eaten dinner already, then hammered straight through without stops.

Now I'll see if I can wind down and get to sleep around midnight instead of 1:30am-ish as often happens with these Friday night trips, the better to get up early tomorrow and start a day of hiking.
