Winnamucca to Eastgate...

We started the day a litle late, it was raining all night and still wet in the morning , it was a good idea to turn around last night , not that i don't mind roughing it but ...why ! We headed out into the middle of nowhere again , opening and closing gates as we cross private property, so many side roads amd cross roads to chose from. We road all day again and only seen 1 truck pass in the opposite direction , he stopped us and asked for directions, ha that's a good one ! We have no idea where we are except what the GPS tells us. It was raining on and off today , so incredible light shows ,sun beams and squalls all around us as we ride south. The road gets slippery we are riding on dust which is about 10 inches thick and the bike weaves all over the place, its like riding on snow , you have to keep your speed up or you won't make it through . I came around the corner and see peacly picking up his bike , i liltte wipe out, nothing damaged and peach is not hurt , but the pace has slowed down now ! I just about bite the dust a few times trying to keep control and stay on my path through this , it really keeps the adrenaline pumping for the next few hrs. We arrive at hwy no. 50 called the Loneliest hwy in the USA and we came off of a side road of this, so where were we then ? We ate supper in a small truck stop in Eastgate , great food from riding all day , the guy running the place tells us of a hot spring down the road a few km so we head out. Belly's full of beer and food and ready to campout , we ride and ride and being as it's dark out now cannot find thi place , roads go everywhere , we finall camp on top a hill on a pass , start a fire , set up the tents and drink Jack Daniels whiskey ahhh , life is good!
