On Sept 24, I started the day leaving before dawn from XPRS at the Black Rock Desert. I travelled across Nevada along US-50, "The Loneliest Road in America". (This is a tongue-in-cheek promotion which makes fun of something a magazine article author called the road in 1986.Get your official "Highway 50 Survival Guide" [download 14MB PDF] stamped in the towns along the way and the Nevada Tourism Board will sendyou a certificate.)

The major sightseeing point for the day was Great Basin National Park. I took the tour of the Lehman Caves at the park. In total, the drive crossed 8 towns, 16 mountain passes and 1 time zone before I reached St George, Utah. This is not the fastest route - I intended to see the cave tour at Great Basin National Park.
