I started going off route to pass through Reno. 75.7 miles to Fernley,
NV, putting me at 4058.8 miles pedaled.

Chris decided to stay on track. It was cool riding with someone but
somethings are good about going alone. Anyways, I'm sure we'll meet
again since we are going the same way, at the least in San Fransisco.

The ocean is getting closer but I'm pretty much settled on doing the
pacific coast now for sure.

Camping at an off route town park always makes me feel like a hobo,
which I'm not cause I have a bike.

Doesn't it look like snow?

It's nice here in Middlegate. The people here are down to earth and
it's real laid back, not like those triple digit population cities.

62.9 miles to Middlegate, NV, population 17. They have bar and a tree
full of shoes.

Hoping to camp behind the bar.

They have weird storms out here and the clouds looked bad last night.
So we crashed in the bathroom at the rodeo.

It was alright, but the room service sucked.

71.7 miles to Austin, NV.

I rotated my tires cause I wore my back tire down so bad you can start
to see threads.

Camping at the rodeo.

77.2 mile haul to Eureka, NV. Met this dude Barry riding from San
Fransisco to Denver. Super cool.

Town had an indoor pool and showers. And we are all camped out in the
town park behind the town Casino. They also had a old operea house we
checked out.

I won $3.25 playing video poker at the Hotel Nevada. In it's prime it
was the tallest building in the state. Today the Hotel Nevada serves
this town of 5000 folks 99 cent margaritas 24 hours a day.
