It was a fun mini-adventure and true dual-sporting on my Triumph Tiger

cyb > 30 miles North of Winnemucca on 95 turns onto 140 West headed for Leonard Creek Road junction about 40 miles away. It was here I got a strange radar warning that turned out to be a low flying fighter jet!  No traffic at all. Empty roads.

cyb > Leonard Creek Ranch in the distance.  I chatted with the owner there and he didn't know some of the roads I was planning on taking because he'd never been that far West through the mountains here. Recharged (soaked) my Marsee cooling vest there. Temps over 100F.
