Mon, Apr 15: Drive to Rachel

Drove to Rachel via 93, stopping at a wetlands:

and then the Extra Terrestrial Highway.  Lonely roads.

Stopped for lunch in Rachel – the restaurant had lots of tempting Extraterrestrial souvenirs and related pictures and posters.  It was an interesting stop.

Paul bought a sweatshirt here because Tonopah was going to be in the thirties and forties, and we were not prepared, since Nevada is a desert, right?  But some of Nevada is high desert at 6,000 feet or higher, so it gets cold.  And we timed it perfectly, as we were in Tonopah Tuesday and Wednesday, the two coldest days for at least two weeks before or after.
