Whitehorse springs to Winnamucca, Nevada...

Wow, again a nice ride we are riding along the steen mountains in the Alvord desert... peachly's Gps is so accurate, we can travel on roads barely seen with the eyes as were going along . This is one of my most enjoyable days , technical riding , raining , mud ,spilled coffee , wipeouts . As we were trying to figure out which road we were on a heard of Antelope went running by us about 40 of them, full speed about 300 ft away . I rode ahead over the rise and scared a flock of grouse off the rd then saw the Anelope being chased by a coyote , he bolted when he seen my bike . I have been looking for the Antelope for days and finally got a great veiw of them .. Alot of these roads we are on we have not seen anoyone else for days at a time or just the odd hunter or farmer , it is just how we want it , out their and remote. If we have a breakdown which we can't fix ourselves we have a lot of riding to do to get out ,with one bike at least ! We finally came out to pavement and rode for 1 hour into Winnamucca , Visited the travel info center and eat lunch at a casino , terrible food ! bought some groceries for the road and headed out into the desert again. we were going to camp out again . As he headed south a huge storm was comming toward us, we decided to turn around and ride 30km back into town, i sucks setting tents up and cooking in the rain when you don't really have too, unkike those whom have travelled this route in the past years , we have bikes ! this is cool !
