US-95

Our original plan was to return to US-395 and stop at Topaz Lake on the way south.  Once again weather intervened and forecast lows in the teens changed our plans.  To escape the cold we headed straight for Beatty.  It ended up being our longest travel day so far at almost 300 miles. 

Heading south on US-95.  Storm clouds looming on the horizon.

It was raining as we approached Walker Lake

Would you check in here?  Tonopah.

Rain again as we were leaving Tonopah

Only an hour to go

We finally arrived at our destination.  We set up and started cooking dinner outside because we had left all the bad weather behind us.  It was not to be.  The wind picked up just as we put the food on the grill and between the wind blowing our our stove and the sand getting blown in our food we moved inside.
