Fire! Fire!

Long Lonely Road

We started the day with a bang.  I was trying to catch a few extra winks while Susie was banging around in the kitchen.  Suddenly, she starts hollerin, “Fire, Fire” and I see her juggling a ball of flame and throwing the silverware drawer into the sink.  I jumped out of bed, but she already had the fire out.  She had lit a match, it broke, and the flaming tip fell into the box of other matches in the drawer igniting them all.  After that excitement, we had our usual breakfast and headed out to Maverick to get some fuel.  McDonalds was next where we leached their wifi to do email and Marcos.  It was a long drive down some lonely roads to get to Tonopah.  We passed through Austin, NV  where the elevation is 7,450 feet.  There was a moderate amount of snow there but none on the road.  After fueling up in Tonopah we headed out to Saulsbury Wash Rest area to have dinner and hit the sack.
