Our first day out of Santa Rosa, last Thursday, we made it to Austin, Nevada. We had two interesting stops that day, the first was at the Donner Pass rest area and the second was at an old Pony express station on Highway 50.

On Friday we drove from Austin, Nv over to Salina, Utah. Nothing too exciting that day, just miles and miles on Highway 50, AKA, the loneliest road in America. Don't believe me - well here you go.
There you have it, Highway 50 is the self claimed loneliest road in America.

Saturday was a short day. We only drove from Salina over to New Castle, Co. We stayed with a friend of my old neighbor Ken Hayashi. His name is Jim Kuhn and he grew up back in the triple cities area, attending Vestal high school. We got to talking to Jim and it turns out his dad lives in Rotonda West, about 5 blocks away from our house. Talk about a small world!

From Limon it took two more days to get here. We stopped in Fredonia, Kansas the first night, then made it to North Little Rock on the second day.

It's been a long week to say the least. We have been here in North Little Rock for two nights and are probably going to stay one more. We will probably leave Friday morning and be back home on Saturday evening.
