So I got up and left and headed toward Winnemucca where the plan was to spend the night.... However as luck would have it I crossed the Pacific time line and gained an hour so I got to my spot way before noon and decided that I was not spending more than 10 hours of daylight sitting in a rest area talking Miss Mabel, Mr. Blue, and myself!!!!! I am not STOOOPID!!!!!!!
A little further down the road is Winnemucca, Nev. and that is the last gas up before heading into the furthest reaches of NO WHERE LAND!!!! Which I really believe exists for the sole purpose of punishing drivers who just want to go that way!!!!!!! I am not STOOOPID!!!!!!!
So you leave Winnemucca and go north on 95 and then about 29 miles later you turn left and drive through this barren waste land heading for SUICIDE MOUNTAIN!!!! There are pictures to show what I am talking about and that is the toughest and longest white knuckle driving that I know of!!! It is a 2 lane road of 3 miles with a small shoulder on both sides and no guard rails!!!!!! I have been over it twice and I am on the inside going down which you have to stay in low gear. Ain't no way you would get me to go up that road!!!! Just would not happen!!!!! I am not STOOOPID!!!!!
So it was over the mountain and through the woods and I mean that literally to my final rest area where I arrived at about 9 PM and settled in for a good nights sleep!!!!!!!
