Fallon, NV (USA)

Woke up at 0830. Finally got ahold of a rental car today - first time in nearly two weeks!!! Al and I decided to explore the area East of Fallon. Lunch at Pizza Hut and then drove out on US-50. Got gas at Harmon Junction. Saw a huge sand dune mountain, visited a hidden cave, discovered an earthquake fault line and ended up at Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park. That may have been the most interesting thing of the day - we got to see an Ishthyosaur fossil in a building there. By the time we got back to the Base, I was re-charged and happy. I'm glad I found out that Al likes exploring too. Back for dinner in my room - played video games and watched TV until really late... Bed at 0200.
