Finished Hwy. 50 through Nevada today. Actually, it's known as "The
Lonliest Road", not highway as previously mentioned. It's only "The
Lonliest Road" in Nevada. That way commercialization is easier, as in
T-Shirts, bumper stickers, etc.
The lonliest road is certainly not a flat road as I had imagined.
Between Ely and Fallon, there are at least eight mountain passes.
Normally not an issue, but when you're pulling an extra 7000 plus
pounds, it's a bit trying. Then going downhill with 7000 plus pounds
pushing you...well, you get the picture.
Not much going on out there except the occasional coyote, but a pretty
road nonetheless. Some traffic, but not much. Tried listening to an
audio book by John Grisham about a washed up NFL quarterback playing
with the Parma Panthers in Parma, Italy. Lot of commentary about
Italian food and wine. Boring story that was making us very hungry.
Brought the trailer up to my studio in Tahoe for cleaning and
straightening tomorrow, then will take it back to Carson City for
storage until the next adventure.
Tomorrow's blog will be a retrospective about the trip. Be sure to
tune in.

You made it home safe and sound! I'll just wait and see what you have to say about the people you met along the way in your retrospective! Sent you website to my son's girlfriend and to the rocket scientist who has a place in South Tahoe. Maybe some business for help pay for the next adventure! Miss you guys. See you at Burning Man if not before.
