Well Im down in Phoenix now. I spent the last two weeks working at the Newmont gold mine near Elko Nevada. I drove my Liberty on this trip. I just pulled in last night. 785 miles on 21.5 gallons. 36.51 MPG.
Not bad at all. Time for some desert hiking.

Elko... the middle of nowhere... but the epicenter of cowboy poetry.
I actually like the drive in the middle of Nevada. As long as I'm plenty caffeinated and have something to listen to, it's neat to go miles and miles, not seeing a soul. It's a different world.
