One of the better ideas I ever had was to take vacations using rental cars.
Put all the miles on them and extend the life of your own vehicle.
It looks like I have all the necessary essentials and it's time to hit the road. A whole lot of driving to do.
One of my favorite intersections, traveling to Fallon.
First stop is Grimes Point, a bit south of Fallon to have a look at some petroglyphs.

What do I think it is?
Why it's a blood groove for when the indians drain the blood from their kills .

a bit east of Fallon and test your shoe throwing skills.
Got to be thousands of shoes here.
On the east coast they have a 'Bike Tree':
