Nevada State Highway 50

Well, we drove almost one thousand miles in the last day. Southern Oregon to eastern Nevada. Highway 50 is the shorter way to Colorado if you're heading towards Denver. And it is desolate. They call it the "Loneliest Road in America", or something like that. We find a brilliant beauty in all that desolation, literally a straight ribbon of road stretching out before you. Interrupted by the occasional pass. Guess we can make it back to Denver, but it will be close. Down to our last couple hundred. Yet ending the enterprise, careening off into some abyss, still beckons like a siren's call. It's sad to comtemplate such a fate. I've really screwed things up mightily. Still, though, there is hope....
