Talking Black Rock Desert

Duane,
I keep threatening to take Bev back to Girlock,past Pyramid lake. We were there when Thrust SST and driver Andy Green broke the land speed record for the 1st time, 728 mph one way and 700 mph on the return run for a record of 714 mph,just a sureal sight. Later that month he broke the speed of sound and set the present record ,I think it's 763 mph. Unfortunately Breedlove couldn't muster 350 that day. Something we will never see again in this lifetime.

ps- Black Rock desert has the biggest [ 10" across ] spiders I have ever seen!
