When you get out on the road with no specific destination, sometimes you have to make some hard decisions. As we approached Bozeman two nights ago, it became clear that although Salt Lake City has great potential for "griefing" religious zealots (and/or corrupting young Mormans, Orgazmo style), it puts us in a tough spot. We don't really like to backtrack on our path -- seems like a waste of time -- and we don't like to get stuck in the middle of nowhere either. Sleeping in a car with Spammer's snoring would be like trying to apply lipstick on a roller coaster. So we took an easy day, ending in Pocatello, to stage for our run ... and after hearing only positive things about Elko, we pointed the Hyundai and hit the gas, thinking that we'd have a quick driving day with some fun in Nevada.
Now, as technologically dorky as Spammer and I are, we didn't pore over Google Earth prior to setting out ... we sort of pick roads at random ... and what we found along the way was no less than the most amazing road we've ever seen. I've road tripped more than 30000 miles in my life, and what we saw today was pristine, awe-inspiring and just a little bit scary. Check out the pictures, and if you have the chance, get to Jarbidge, NV.
Oh, so there will probably be some drinking and checking-out of the brothels ... possibly gambling. Stay tuned.
