We had coupons for either a free 'continental breakfast,' or $3 off of anything on the menu. We took the full breakfast, good food, but a waiting list even at 9 in the morning. (11 central time, so it was a late morning)
We had enough fuel to get to Carson City where gas was cheaper. Arco is the cheapest ... or Golden Gate if you pay cash. Within a couple of miles of fueling we are at the edge of town and the speed limit is going up. We notice the car ahead of us pulling to the shoulder and then run over a post. As we past BB noticed something wasn't right so we stopped and called 911. I was breaking up on my cell (2 miles from town) but they finally said someone would be on there way.
When I got over to the car the person was laying on their side in the front seat will drooling. As I tapped on the window asking them to open the window, they hit the gas and went a few more car lengths. Slowly they sat up and were slowly grabbing at things in the car. Finally / a few minutes later, someone else stopped. When they got to the car, the person inside finally rolled down the windows, and was convinced to shut the car off. (I hadn't thought about the fire danger in the dry grass.)
Soon the cops got there and then the ambulance. They were quite sure the driver was on drugs, not ill. We filled out an accident report and were on our way.
A few miles later we saw something neither of us had seen before, horse crossing signs ... and then a dead horse on the side of the road.
From there things were less eventful. A stop at a rest area between Fernly and Lovelace. A stop for fuel in Battle Mountain, we don't get as good of mileage going 80.
We did meet one of our buses and a number of RV's.
With breakfast being late and lots of it, we weren't ready to eat again until 5 pm at Burger King in Wells. From there we got off of the freeway for the two hour trip up to Twin Falls, ID. Beautiful sunset.
Tonight is at the Quality Inn in Twin Falls, I think we have been here before. There are not too many of these that are in two buildings.
