Left Green River headed west on 50 which quickly became the interstate. This is also a scenic road and with good reason. Beautiful red rock formations backed by snow capped peaks in the distance.
Eventually 50 separated from the interstate and turned into a straight as an arrow road across western Utah, this isn't called the loneliest road but should be. After lunch headed into Nevada and the real loneliest road. This was a beautiful road we would climb over a pass up to six or seven thousand feet then winding down into a valley. You could see the entire road as a straight line across the valley climbing to another twisty road through another pass. Looking down on the valleys you can see forever, no houses, no billboards, no cattle, nothing but snow covered mountains in the distance.
Continued to drive west eventually ended up in Eureka an old mining town on route 50 where we are stopped for the night.
Mentioned a couple from Kentucky that we ran into yesterday, Jim Bob and his wife Vicki, Very nice couple on a Harley headed for the coast. Played tag with them off and on all day and after we stopped for the day in pulled our new friends. The only thing left to do was invite them to dinner with us. We had a great mexican food dinner complete with margaritas, beer and great conversation of motorcycle trips taken and those we want to.
