Dan/carreradpt...I'm jumping others to do you.."greatest experience"/no question, but that's another reply ASAP..."fun"/we don't need no stinken fun..."thanks for sharing"/this ride belongs to all those who supported me, no question again..."map"/I don't have a scanner yet, but I have a dig. camera..perhaps I should seek out someone who has one and put something together...the route mostly followed the weather.I left April 29, which is pre-tourist, and wet/cold where I wanted to go. I wanted that because the animals come to valleys from up high to eat fresh buds and the tourists haven't scared them away..I did a few loops from the NorthWest to the deserts to dry out/no kidding..the wildlife was at least 3X more plentyful in early May than late May,IMHO..that's what this NY'er wanted..the previous pic was a perfect example..that pic is of open range wild animals in northern Nevada..85% of Nevada is managed by the BLM, I believe..anyway, that road in northern Nev. was done 2X and the 2nd time around I had to seek out the animals as compared to the 1st pass, when they were a road hazard..I got a pic of an animal road hazard that's scary.that's another story..and Dan, "6 weeks on the road"!!! I slept in a tent for over 6 weeks. I refused any offer to stay indoors..my clothing consisted of very warm clothes and shorts / T-shirts...I live in a concrete jungle and I wanted OUT...but your"6 weeks" is an important statement, IMO..I need at least 2 weeks to cool out and be able to follow the lyrics on a song for more than 10 seconds............Ron
