We rode for over 2 hours before we stopped at an old mining town for a coffee and something to eat. This town was out of the 19th century with its old buildings and it still had a casino as we were in Nevada which was quite well preserved and it served nice coffee and food.
By the time the sun was overhead and things were warming up. We continued riding through the desert and ended up on the extraterrestial highway which apparently has had a lot of UFO sightings over the years. The local businesses play up on this a bit as you will see from one of the photos.
Our trip was through a combination of mountains and valleys with some straight stretches of over 35 km's without a bend. Even though we were tempted we stuck to the speed limit but as there were few cars on the road and you could see them for miles we did get some side shots of our bikes.
We are now at Cedar City Utah and will be here for two nights to catch up on some local sightseeing and get the all important washing done.
The day was finished with a meal at Sizzlers before we retired to our motel.
Check out todays photo's which Kerry took from the back of the bike.
