Fall Trip North - Day 9

This was a travel day going from the Lee Vining area to my brother`s near Winnemucca, Nevada (extreme north, central Nevada).  It is a long rather nondescript drive unless you like a lot of flat, open land.  I headed east from just above Mono Lake on a highway that is "arrow" straight until it reaches the Nevada border - a least 35 miles.
This is looking back west to the Sierra Nevada Mt. range with Mono Lake just barely visible at the end of the road.

The sign at the border with Nevada and evidence that there are a lot of gun toting folks out here - notice the bullet holes that have been patched / also paint ball marks on the sign.
This is some of the really straight road out here, looking east into Nevada.
Here I am approaching Walker Lake which is just past the town of Hawthorne, Nv. (the town is the green patch just in front & to the right of the lake) with more of that straight road.
It is not much of a town which is typical  of the high desert area.  I know this was a light day picture wise but there is not much that warrant picking up the camera. 
It is wide open country......
So much for now.
