Do I remember? I was a freshman in college and a friend (non rider) scored tickets for opening night in a big theater (things were different then-the theater seated 1500 and was opulent). I saw it 3 more times on the big screen... and hard telling how many times at home.
Dear @bigtom13 , First of all, I hope you understand that I have English conversational skills comparable to that of an American elementary school student.π
I understood that you watched movie Easy Rider in the theater when you were in your freshman year of college.
I'm sort of planning a trip across US 50 from Ely NV to Reno, NV. It's called the Loneliest Highway in the US, US50. I'll plan to camp in the National Forest around Austin, NV. It is gorgeous. And quiet :)

Wow, Are you planning to ride your motorcycle through America's hottest and most dangerous Death Valley?
I remembered that it was a dangerous and lonely area with the lowest level of civilisation in America. The vastness of the North American continent always overwhelms me.π
I stop in Reno every year to see a friend who works for Tesla. So 50 is a viable route.
Aren't your children worried about your lonely journey?
I'll not ride Death Valley this trip. Although it isn't a great deal warmer than Yuma, AZ where I live the extreme temps take a lot of the enjoyment out of a place I really love. It is wild and beautiful all at the same time.
Yep. Fall 1969 I was a freshman in college. I don't have children, and my brothers just shake their heads at what I do. When my mother was still alive I had to show her the pictures from every trip. She was a big supporter of my riding.
I plan to camp somewhere near the petroglyph site near Austin. There's a general store/gas station there that ALWAYS has the coffee pot on. Last time I was there it was snowing-not a good condition on a motorcycle.

Dear @bigtom13 , Have you ever been to Death Valley on a previous trip? I thought there would be aliens, ghosts, criminals, and wild beasts in Death Valley.π
You must have a really strong heart when you spend a few days alone in an uninhabited wilderness.π
I also want to go to Death Valley someday.
I remember that from the 19th century, many American pioneers heading west lost their lives in Death Valley.
However, if theycross Death Valley, you can reach the heavenly Oregon. I was able to meet @valued-customer and @joeyarnoldvn at Hive, two wonderful American friends living in beautiful Oregon.
I guess I am destined to make friends easily with Americans living in Oregon.π
I assume you are probably 71 years old now. I am 47 years old. you are my father's age.

I also want to go to the petroglyph site near Austin in the future. I hope you have a safe and comfortable trip.π
