Highway 50 - The Loneliest Highway

I haven't been covering enough miles each day so my path has to deviate. Utah is majestic. The colours of the landscapes are so varied and dramatic. A photo would not do it justice or capture the results and it is about 10 degrees cooler than Las Vegas.

Tomorrow, I start on Highway 50 across the middle of Nevada, dubbed the loneliest highway in USA. Will let you know :) ...... plus I had to go via Carson City as there is a board game with the same name. It is also the capital of Nevada.

Staying in a small hotel in the middle of a small town $30/night. Some of you might be cringing and think it is a flea pit :-) but you get a fridge, microwave, HD TV, free wifi, a/c etc. It's very clean, just tired, but who isn't?

Road Trip Utah

Just a little road trip to get in the groove. Have allowed a week. Lots of room to deviate from plan but main points are: -

• Visiting a new state - Utah
• Visit the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas at night
• Do a part of Route 66 that I missed, from Kingman, AZ to Barstow, CA.
• See tiny little towns off the beaten path hoping to bump into the American Pickers :-)

also I am trying to avoid the mountains, I like the wide open spaces.

About 2300 miles/3700 kms
