Had a big lunch at the restaurant, jumped in the shower and threw my very dirty clothes into the washer at the coin laundry station.  As I waited I checked to see if there were any taxis or Ubers available to take me the 21km to Bridgeport where I could catch a bus to the Reno airport. Hmm, there were no services at all, I&#8217;d have to walk and hitchhike and hope for a kind stranger. <br><br>A younger couple, Michael &amp; Becka were busy doing laundry at the same time as me. Becka was an ICU travel nurse who was working in a new location every 4 months. They were enjoying this travel lifestyle and hoped to keep it up for some time before settling down. They were great people and we chatted until our laundry was done. As I threw on my pack and readied to go they were surprised that I was going walk to town in the heat and offered me a ride. Awesome! Michael brought drinks and watermelon slices and drove me right to a hotel. It made a huge difference for me that day and I was so very grateful. Thanks guys!<br><br>The next morning I was able to catch an overfilled bus out of Bridgeport (4 of us had to sit on the floor). On the way to the Reno airport I booked a flight to Vancouver that would leave later that day. The trip was almost over and wow, what an adventure. I loved it. It was absolutely everything I had hoped for and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mikekolberg.com\/?page_id=777\">Day 18<\/a>     <a
