Thank you. I'm glad there weren't any bugs on the road when I went through, that would not have been fun on a motorcycle!!Quote:

...but first a check of the weather. It was nice to see that it was going to be cooler, the day before it was 117 degrees. I was told how lucking I was to be here now because the week before it was in the 120s!!

Highway 78 started with miles of alfalfa fields with a narrow two lane road running through the middle of it. There were thousands of little yellow butterflies flying across the road. I was covered with them, they were in my coat, inside my helmet, I even found some in my shoes.
The fields ended and then it was rolling hills through desert....

...and then sand dunes.

This was a very interesting road.

Thanks for sharing!
I think the roadrunner design on the chair the RV lady loaned you is very appropos!
And I, too, get excited when I do things like stand in two states at the same time. I jumped with joy the last time I stood on the continental divide. What's up with that? LOL
South of Portland, OR, is a sign saying that you are halfway between the equator and the north pole. It's on I-5 and there's no place to pull over and park except for a narrow shoulder that says no parking. I'm considering attempting a quick stop there anyway. My car needs it's picture taken by the sign. Really, really bad. ;)
I'm thinking if I time a trip there at the crack of dawn, traffic should be light and I might get away with it. Just hope there's not "pay to play" involved.
More pictures?? Really?? :) :) I did take almost 500 pictures on this trip!!Quote:

The "lonelisest road" was interesting, a lot of history, but on a short trip I would pick other places before going there.Quote:
