I'm on the road to Montana for a photo shoot. In a minivan, unfortunately. Too much gear, wrong bike for the job.

Highway 80

Leaving Reno on 80 east, we see Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) and sheriff cars everywhere. On a twenty mile stretch outside of sparks, dozens of patrol cars - and along the highway, we see at least seven 'enforcement actions' - people pulled over at the side of the road - in every case, two or three NHP vehicles ("back up"). One incident had a guy with a small rented U-Haul trailer being frisked by NHP.

Nevada's Finest: Nevada Highway Patrol car outside Fernley, Nevada

In any case, we couldn't go more than a mile or so without being ghosted by a NHP car - they were thick as flies at a garbage dump.

Nearing Fernley

I don't know what the hell was going on, but if this was a typical Wednesday heading east on 80, I'd advise taking it very easy when heading down that stretch of 80.

Does anyone know what's going on around that section of 80?
