Our Last Day . . .

By now we've done everything on our 'list' of things to see and do. Bruce came up with the idea of driving the "Extraterrestrial Highway." The only problem with that, it wasn't on my GPS and I didn't have my laptop to look it up. What do you do in a case like that - call my good friend Shirley in Texas so that she can Google it for me. She found it and gave us directions - Hwy 318 and 375. With that plugged into the GPS, we started out. What desolate country. Bruce thought this area bordered on "Area 51." We found the junction, took pictures then proceeded across Hwy 375. From there we picked up Route 6, stopped in Tonopah at the local McDonald's for lunch - it was just as cold inside the place as outside. Our little tour covered over 465 miles. And from the pictures below, you can see we were just east of Death Valley. However, we never did get to see any Aliens or UFOs.













































Back in the city, we filled the car with gas, then headed for the airport. Our flight flew out at 12:50a.m. on February 14th.
