It got up to 26°C (79°F) today, and tomorrow’s high temperature forecast is 12°C (53 °F), so I got on my bike for what may be my last ride in shorts for a while and rode to and beyond the destination of Leg 34: the Nevada State Capitol. That’s in Carson City, one of the largest state capitals at 380 square km area because in 1969 Carson City merged with Ormsby County. There are 13 state capitals with smaller population, which is more than I’d expected.
The State Capitol dates from 1871 and looks fairly nice, I think, and not a clone of two thirds of all other state capitols.

That’s about that for this place. I got another 8 km further on, heading south.
