Wow - ended up being a damn long day. We didn't leave Coyote Valley until about one, then after fueling up, weighing, and getting our act together, we didn't leave the Bay Area until about 2pm.

The drive wasn't too bad leaving California, which is why we left on Sunday. Figured there wouldn't be a lot of people traveling on that day. It was a normal crowded Sunday.

Our first real stop was in Baker, California - the home of The Worlds Largest Thermometer! We took that in for about 30 seconds and dashed into The Mad Greek for The Best Gyro In U.S.A. (according to the dozen billboards on the way). It was pretty good - but was $9.95!!! Guess the Mad Greek isn't a Stupid Greek - we were there at around 10pm and the place was full.

We made it out to Mesquite, Nevada for the night, and found a great spot in a parking lot at a casino for the rest of the night. It was warm out, so all windows were open all night. Felt good to stop after 600ish miles.

Anomaly of the day: diesel was cheaper in California than Nevada!!! Paid $4.19 in Gilroy, $4.29 in Las Vegas. Color me confused...

Off to Escalante, Utah.
