The trip has really begun with today's drive. I got that feeling as soon as I left the Tahoe basin. It's all new land now. We arrived here in Eureka about 5pm, just as the sun was going down, "the friendliest town on the loneliest road". There's one hotel, one restaurant, one bar, population 650 - proper.

The drive flew by - view after view, mixed in with a few interesting towns. Carson City (the capitol): eh. We oscillated between 4 and 9000 ft elevation. In general, it looked a lot like a mix of hill country outside of Austin, the Mojave and scens from No Country for Old Men. Or something. One thing you can't help but notice is the great names of towns out there: Alpine, Lost City, Rawhide, Bucktown. Right?? We stoppped at a place they call Sand Mountain - a random, giant sword-edged sand dune. A few RV's were camped at the base, dune buggie rats.

I just noticed the publishing engine for this travel blog is written in Perl! That is so interesting and you don't even care.

looks amazing there
we just watched 'into the wild' last night, you're like that guy... well, except that you're not actually in the wild, you're not rejecting society and all material needs, and you're not slowly starving yourself living in an abandoned bus in Alaska. I guess pretty much nothing about the movie is like your situation come to think of it.
