Gouti, Blais 1972 Journal May 16 En Route from Berkeley, Calif to Lincoln Co., Nev. Met with Ned K. Johnson at corner Arch and Vine St, Berkeley, California, at 8:05 AM. We drove west on I-80, stopping at Reno, Nevada, to buy food for the trip. We stopped for lunch about 15 mi. E of Reno, at about 1:00 PM. We then headed E to Fallon on H.W. 95, Then South on 95 to Hawthorne. We drove west on U.S. 95 and 6 to Tonopah, Then on U.S. 6 to Warm Springs, at which there were no gas stations. We drove 56 mi. South from Warm Sprs. on H.W. 25 to the Teimpahute turnoff, and drove about .2 mi. E. and parked for the night at 10:00 PM. The weather was overcast at Berkeley, becoming clear and warm in the Central Valley. Once entering Nevada, the wind began to blow, often reducing our speed. Sand was suspended in the air in many valleys. We stopped for dinner at an abandoned ranch about 20 mi. E. of Tonopah. Here we saw Beldov Crickets, 1 pair at least. Horned Larks were seen from about 30 mi. West of Tonopah until we stopped for dinner. In the town of Mina, I saw a Western Kingbird. May 17.
