Everett to Reno

DAY 8, LEG 44 - Everett to Reno

Unfortunately our stop in Everett didn't allow us any time to visit the Boeing assembly line because it was time to head south to Reno.  The city is a popular visiting spot for tourists from California and hosts a large number of casinos as well as being one of a few remaining air racing venues.  It is also a sister city of Yellowknife, where we started our day.
