From Cathedral Gorge, we continued on South to Caliente, then West on 93 to 375 West, where we inadvertently stumbled onto the Storm Area 51 site..late thank god.

and then continued on to Tonopah. By the time we got there, everybody was fading and this next bit tickled my father in laws sense of humor, so with sketch as fuck rooms booked we settled in for (surprise) what would turn out to be a night with little sleep

. In the grand scheme of things, I gotta recommend a hard pass on this motel. I had been experiencing a noticeable drop in power throughout that days driving and temps pushing the 3/4 mark at 330-340 deg, so i was up bright and early the following morning removing my bumper hoop, lights, grille trim rings and grille mesh. With all that packed away in the trailer, the rest of the drive home was smooth sailing with consistent 190-210 temps and a regained ability to overtake semis and cruise at 70 without issue. Needless to say, that shit isn't going back on.
Was a great loop of Nevada and I wish I had gotten more pictures on the road as the huge open skies and massive valleys were absolutely epic. Traveling those roads and not seeing much in the way of fellow humanity was brilliant and I find I can't wait to head right back out to the middle of nowhere.
