I like to turn travel into an adventure, to make it exciting, seeking out adverse weather and preferring to sleep in snowy, wintery mountain passes, or getting off onto a remote road like that.
Electric cars just aren’t made for adversity or adventuring, or as a safe car for the wife and kids.
My wife and I enjoyed our Nevada trek. From Las Vegas, we headed up US 95 to Tonopah, then went on the “Extraterrestrial Highway” to Rachel, where they have a monument for the movie “Independence Day”. Had lunch at the Little A’Le’Inn, then checked out the mailbox by the entrance to Area 51.
The most exciting time was when we took US 93 back to Vegas. All of a sudden, my wife yelled “Oh my GOD!” and the car shook. I looked out my window and saw an Air Force jet climbing away from us. Later on, a friend told us that the guys at Nellis Air Force Base get a kick out of buzzing cars on the highway.
