Day 113: Traveling to the Sierras

Wednesday September 3, 0mi/0km

Elko NV to Bakersfield CA

Today was a day of driving. The people from Enterprise rental car picked me up from the motel at 8:30, and I was on my way by 9am. Rental cars are always new, and this one was no exception with lots of fancy electronics.

It was an eventful 600 mile drive, I stopped twice to charge, and got some food while I was waiting. Surprisingly, it was rainy for most of Nevada.

My route took me through Bishop, but it was too late to stop at the bakery by the time I passed through. Darn. I picked up a fuel canister from the local hiking store, and then pressed on to Bakersfield. I stopped about 20 miles outside of town to camp on some public land. Even though I got there at 9:30pm, it was still pretty hot, I forgot how low elevation this area is.
