Hey Copper,
I'm doing a border to border run on Saturday and will be heading north on 93. If you don't mind...can you give me some quick impressions of that route between Vegas and Wells? Looks like a whole lot of nothing, but any surprises?

Thanks!

As mentioned above, there are no fuel stops (for you, northbound) between Ash Springs and Wells, NV. It's a beautiful run, with expansive views going up that Ruby Mtn range.

I passed more than more than one Nevada State Trooper doing 80 mph in a 70 mph zone, & they didn't even bat an eye. Closer to 90 sometimes.

Anyway, It was near freezing when we left Wells, NV, & came out at Ash Springs at near 85-90*F. Had to strip off several layers before we rode into Vegas.

No surprises that I can think of. Wells is 5700 ft above sea level, so take that into account.
