“Reno Nevada”, Mimi and Richard Farina

This way: Reno Nevada

Richard Fariña (March 8, 1937 – April 30, 1966-29 years old) was an American folksinger, songwriter, poet and novelist. Fariña is known for his novel Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me, originally published by Random House in 1966. On April 30, 1966, two days after the publication of his novel, Fariña attended a book-signing ceremony at a Carmel Valley Village bookstore, the Thunderbird. Later that day, while at a party to celebrate his wife Mimi Fariña's twenty-first birthday, Fariña saw a guest with a motorcycle, who later gave Fariña a ride up Carmel Valley Road, heading east toward the rural Cachagua area of Carmel Valley.
