Family visit

For newcomers who don’t yet know about walking the river, there is an unbroken walk along the Truckee from west Reno to east Sparks. (Well, actually, there is one break in the path, at Virginia Street while the bridge is being replaced.) Along the river these days, if you stop to rest, a goose family may come ashore to visit with you, as happened to us—mom, dad, and two goslings.
