Today we left Bryce, drove back through Red Canyon National Park
via Hwy 12 west, then took what might be called the Scenic Route
through Nevada. We took, from Bryce, 12W, 89S, 14W, XXX.
Hwy 395 in Nevada is known as the Extraterrestrial Highway, and
passes through the Area 51 Research & Information Center, next
to the town of Rachael. We drove all the way to California,
stopping at a campsite in the Inyo National Forest just south of
the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest.
Lunch was at The Brandin Iron in Caliente, NV. The food was really
really good, but the apple pie was amazing. Seriously -- just the
right amount of thickening for the filling, large chunks of juicy
apples, and a crust to pray for. Yummmm...
