We turned south on highway 361 and stopped at Middlegate Junction for fuel. This was a very unique stop in the middle of nowhere. We took a break, and while sitting in chairs under the porch of a cabin, a Navy fighter jet did a low pass over the parking lot. Jack saw it coming, and he was probably only 200' above the ground. Just as he got to us he waved his wings as he flew over. It was very impressive to say the least.
We then rode north on highway 95 towards Hawthorne, Nevada where we once again stopped for fuel. We met a Harley rider there from Edmond, Oklahoma, and visited with him for quite some time. He was headed for the same area we were, so he followed us on highway 359 for a while, but dropped out of site as we crossed over the state line.
Just before crossing over into the state of California, we came around a curve on 395 and there in front of us was the most beautiful mountain range, completely covered with snow at the top.
It didn't even look real, but more like a picture you would see on a postcard. You would have to be here as there are no words to describe what we saw. Seeing the beauty of God's creation is one of my favorite things about these trips. We will be riding the passes in some of these mountains on Thursday, one of which just opened on Tuesday.
We stopped just south of Bridgeport for the night at a place called Virginia Creek Settlement.
The creek is just outside the front door of our cabin, and is running quite rapidly. Jack and I decided to go fishing and actually caught several fish. This was quite a feat being as though neither of us are fisherman.
That's about it for today.Just a reminder...if you click on any of the pictures you will get a larger version.
Stay tuned for Thursday night.
