We started in Bryce Canyon, Utah with a broken transmission, ended in Tonopah, Nevada. Long day of interesting sights and experiences.

Uhm, "How much fuel de we have?" "I'm sure that there is a gas station... somewhere"	You've seen these mountains before, in movies about barren places.	"So this is it? The actual *middle* of nowhere?"	Nowhere to the left
More nowhere that way too.	But there must be water, somewhere. Read the sign. I'm guessing this isn't such a fresh-smelling place on a hot day.	Impressive.	Yet another type of rocky rock
And then we found Rachel, Nevada. Probably the weirdest place I've ever been. But they had some gas, and they had cold beer, and the people were really friendly.	Yup. Rachel.	As it was getting late, and the "whole town" was sold out of rooms due to a bike ride, we pushed onward.	The bar. Rachel, NV. Not an outpost of liberal thinking.
Rachel's bar	What alien town bar would be complete without a mind-scan protector?	Happy travelers: Soop, Steve, Annette, Seth	They filmed part of ID4 here, apparently.
Rachel. I'll never forget you.	The Lisa Loeb look-alike bartender told us about some hot springs nearby where we could camp, but to be careful, because the owner was a real jerk and got mad at people for camping there... we checked it out...	...but decided to move along as it gave us a distinct "beginning of a bad story" vibe. After driving too far, we ended up in Tonopah, NV: the stargazing capital. Also a big stinky casino. But it was a warm place to rest and it had been a very long day.	The "view" from our room at the Ramada in Tonopah.
