Didn't make it over Donner Pass on Apr 22, I80 closed. Thank goodness we packed plenty of food. Found a full hook-up RV park near downtown Truckee and settled down for a short winter's night. Roads opened at 7:30 the next morning.

    Cool. Glad you're not descendant to the Donners. Could have been frightening. B-)

    I'm glad you made it, DeeDee.  That pass can be challenging, even when open without a trailer.  On my last trip returning from Reno, I spent time thinking "this wasn't really a good idea."
