This trip was doomed from the start. We were going to spend eight days on the road and go all the way to Nebraska, but because of a sick cat ($2,800 in vet bills), an identity theft problem that caused my credit cards to be cancelled the second day out, and other problems, the trip was shortened to 3 1/2 days.

On Highway 50 between Eureka and Austin, Nevada, the Mormon crickets were so thick that the road was glazed with the juice of squashed bugs. After driving through this for a while, the smell starts to become nauseating.
