You guys are assisting me in setting up my next journey...you can't stop now...besides you look like you are having fun too!  Gotta live though others right now but soooooonnnnnn!

We left the motel very early in the morning on Sunday, for Bryce Canyon National Park.  This day will be another long day, lot of miles to head across Utah and Nevada.

Terrie tryin to run off on my bike…..

As we left the park, the local law gave us something to remember them by……

[JCZ]

We met these two guys at a gas station near the Nevada state line.  They were headed west as well and inquired if we knew about the gas stops on this route.  I already had the gas stops researched since they’re far and few between on this route.

None of us had ever seen a Harley as loaded down as this guy’s Road King.  It was incredible, all the stuff that he had on this bike.  On the right rear passenger floorboard he had an ice chest strapped on.  I saw a tent, sleeping bags, sleeping mat, camp stove, lantern, etc.





His buddy’s little bike was pretty well loaded down also.  We leap frogged these guys from Utah, all the way across Nevada….





We’re headed down the Extraterriastrial Highway……a very desolate and barren highway for the next 250 miles…..just us and the aliens……

What else would you expect to see on Extraterestrial Highway??     http://byways.org/explore/byways/2029 

 

They take their aliens quite serious out here……













This is Rachel, Nevada…..

[JCZ]

The Little A’ Le’ Inn is out in the middle of nowhere and it’s a couple hundred miles across there with no gas in between.  However, the owners of the Little A Le Inn keep a number of 5 gallon gas cans full for the motorcyclists.  You can turn south about 7 miles, 25 miles back and go to Ash Springs for gas but there isn’t a sign that tells you that if you don’t know from experience.  If you happen to miss Ash Springs then you better stop at the Little A Le Inn and ask them for a can of gas or you’ll be bleached bones in no time.   This is a part of America where you may not see another car for an hour or two.

The locals…….













Nothing in Warm Springs…….









Here’s Warm Springs…..

[JCZ]

The next stop is Tonopah, Nevada.  By the time we got there I felt like I’d grown at least twice my size…..

How funny JC this little town that has alien's everywhere!  Do they claim to have seen one?  And what's with the little furniture that you're sitting on?  Great pictures and I didn't realize that there were places out west where you can drive roads for miles and never see another car.

See the link I provided above or do a google search for "Extraterestrial Highway".  They claim more UFOs sighted on this road than anywhere else in the world and that doesn't speak to the dead cows that you might see laying along side the road.

Perhaps they visited the UFO Welcome Center in my neck of the woods...Bowman, SC!

We’d all passed through Tonopah, Nv. a number of times.  Nothing to exciting there and usually very hot.  Normally it’s just a gas stop and keep moving.  However, in this case we’d already been riding all day long and in triple digit temps so…………………Tonopah would be our home for this evening.    Our reservations were at the #1 rated lodging on Trip Advisor……





Terrie and I had room #203, second floor corner suite that’s the Jack Dempsey suite…..



 





Even had a claw foot tub in the bathroom and a wet bar in the room.  Surprisingly, it was very affordable and included breakfast in their restaurant.



The view from our room…..

Coffee lounge on the second floor…..



And the lobby and lounge…..
