Photos of Littlefield Cemetery in Arizona

Littlefield Cemetery

Photos from Littlefield, AZ

When you travel north on Interstate 15 out of Nevada, you cut through a small slice of Arizona before you hit Utah. Although this slice of AZ is very thin, it really does have some remarkable scenery. Tanya and I both enjoy visiting old cemeteries, so when we spotted this gem outside of Littlefield, we did not hesitate to pull off to investigate. As you can see, it was worth the stop.

Photos from US 395

Bridgeport, Twin Lakes, Mono Lake and the Sierra Nevada Mountains

We woke up in Bridgeport, which is one of those towns along US 395 that if you blink, you will miss it. Buddy and I began the day with a walk through town. That was enough to convince me that we were going to have to do a little exploring before we started the last leg of our journey home. I saw a sign for Twin Lakes and decided that we should go check them out. It was a great decision as the lakes and snow-capped mountains were very picturesque. It had been more than 30 years since I spent any time in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, but I will not wait that long the next time. I think 395 will make for a great motorcycle ride.

Wendover to South Lake Tahoe

We left West Wendover, NV and headed west to Lake Tahoe. While it was a little chilly, it was nothing compared to the last several days. Since it was Cinco de Mayo, we decided to find a Mexican restaurant along the way for dinner. We landed in Sparks, NV at Cantina Los Tres Hombres. The food was tasty and they had a wide selection of tequilas to choose from. Alexis, our server made a couple nice suggestions and we left satisfied. From there it was a relatively short drive to South Lake Tahoe, where we called it a day. Buddy was happy as we found a dog beach for him to run around and mingle with a female collie. It was a good day.

Photos From the Windy Plains

Photos From Wyoming and Utah

Independence Rock and Great Salt Lake

Time is running out and there are still a lot of miles to go, so today was a lot of driving. Since we were driving through Wyoming and Utah it was easy to put on the miles as there was very little to stop and photograph. Coupled with the fact that the wind was 60+ in places, when we did stop to do anything, we usually did it quickly as it was really cold. We did spend a little time at Independence Rock, and walked around most of it. It was nice when we arrived in Wendover tonight. Tomorrow will be driving across the top of Nevada. I wonder what the weather will be like.

Photos From Custer State Park

Photos Of Our Third Day In South Dakota

Our Visit To Custer State Park, Sturgis and Spearfish

Today, Tanya and I spent a few hours cruising around Custer State Park. Neither of us had been there before, and thanks to a spontaneous turn and the input of a park ranger that noticed our cameras, we ventured far into the park. It was a wonderful decision as the photos will show. We took another detour north to Sturgis and Spearfish, as I wanted to show Tanya what it was that drove me to ride. I was amazed at what a ghost town Sturgis was in the off season. Kind of sad. As a gentleman stated earlier in the day, “it is all about the ride, right?” A dismal Stugis and a lousy meal in Spearfish could not take away from the smooth, winding I-90 as we headed out. I love that ride.
