Unpleasant Surprise
We visit Pyramid Lake. It's a beautiful place and I wonder why I haven't been here very often. We're headed north and there are fewer and fewer cars on the road. In fact, there's nothing but double-length tractors hauling raw ore or gravel. A road sign approaches. Our road is renamed "Surprise Valley Road" and we enter the Paiute Indian Reservation. The road turns to dirt.
But we've committed 50 miles to this direction and it can't be all that bad. It is. The dirt road is 20 miles of washboard interlaced with foot-and-a-half deep potholes - some of which I fail to avoid while peering through the dust of a big rig in front of us doing 30 miles-per-hour. I'm going to need a front-end-alignment.
