Day 19: Klamath Falls OR - Battle Mountain NV

Today could only get better after discovering the lift was out of order.  I was on the fourth floor and had parked That Shitbox Dodge having paid due consideration to the location of the lift.  Miles away from the stairs next to my room.  Bah!

The drive from Klamath Falls to Battle Mountain is so forgettable that I found I had indeed forgotten large chunks of it, and will probably have done so again by tomorrow.  There's a chunk of agriculture for a bit then a brief interlude of forest, and then after that it all looks like this:

Pretty smoky on the way over from the fires in northern California but it started to clear about fifty miles northeast of Winnemucca and here it's hust a bit hazy.  A few of the usual suspects have already been encountered loitering around the Super 8 - Garrie Hill, John Jackson and an assortment of Lems - plus there are a couple of gert big crates outside, one of which contains VeloX 8 and the other, we think, Taurus.  On the other hand, it has been reported elsewhere that the Soup Dragon - the Mike Burrows/Glen Thompson co-production entered under the auspices of South Bank University and to be ridden by Russell Bridge, is stuck in Customs.  In Cincinnati,  Which is shut for the weekend.  Since DHL claim to have delivered it to $HOTEL in Las Vegas prior to being transported up here, someone needs a good shoeing.

Not much else to report yet, except that the trip meter wossname in That Shitbox Dodge resets itself to 0 after 10,000 km :-)  And the internets in the Super 8 are not yet clogged with Penniless Student Oaves doing Social Media, so that picture ^^^^ actually uploaded pretty sharpish at full resolution.  I doubt this state of affairs will persist for long, mind.
