Road Trip Denver to San Francisco
Leaving Utah across the Nevada desert
and into Yosemite National Park California.
Leaving Cedar City Utah along Freeway 15 we have a long day’s drive
ahead. The road trip continues with this leg taking us through proper desert.
My kinda fun if a little scary!! Leaving the Freeway just past Cristal onto
highway 93, the road sign reads: No Fuel Food or Truck Stops next 150 miles be
sure you have full tank of gas, drinking water and that the car is in good
order.
The Road Ahead
& The Road Behind
When The Machine Stopped Working
Along the way this drive takes us onto highway 375 across on what is
also known as the extra-terrestrial highway, I guess that means a lot of people
have claimed to see UFOs along with way. It’s also the nearest town to Area 51
and the Nellis air force range with a tiny population of just 54. Given the
intensity of the desert sun and the quality of light it creates it’s hardly
surprising, but all we see is a couple of military aircraft fly by and the
abandoned Tonopah Station, which, though eerie, is short on little green men,
or indeed any signs of life bar a couple of rooks who keep lookout from the old
lampposts!!
