The next day (10-3) I chose the long way out of town – US Rt. 6 toward Tonopah. The day started with a 15-mile long climb to Montgomery Pass, just over the border into Nevada. From there it was 66 miles to Tonopah with no gas or food in between and water only at a rest stop about 10 miles before Tonopah. Let’s just say I endured.

Nevada can best be described as ruggedly beautiful (or beautifully rugged, if you prefer). It’s also a little smoky right now, thanks to forest fires in Northern California.

I stayed at a motel in Tonopah (planned event) and sent home Part 9 of my Journal to Becky sometime after 1:00am local time.
