Beautiful scenery the whole way.

Ever see Galaxy Quest? This rock formation
reminds me of the part where all the little miners were shouting,
"Gerignak, gerignak, gerignak." Then the rocks form a creature
that attacks Capt. Nesmith.

Walker River along Hwy 395. |
 |
 |
Finally made it to Walker Burgers in Walker.
I miscalculated the time it would take to get from Sonora to Walker, so we
were 45 minutes late. It takes 2 hours, not one hour, to make that
journey. This is a pic of the size samples Walker Burger uses to show the
sizes of french fries.
