The moment we will remember
One hundred and twenty kilometres of US-50 between Eureka and Austin, where the basins arrive one after another and nothing at all happens in between.
“Emptiness is not nothing. Out here it is the loudest thing there is.”
They call it the loneliest road in America. On a tandem you are never lonely, which may be the entire argument for riding one.
