(My route today: Las Vegas Gun Store -> Atomic Testing Museum -> Vegas Museum -> middle of nowhere in Utah)
Day #46: It was my first night sleeping on the road. I wasn't sure if truckers could be trusted but gave in at a rest stop utterly exhausted from driving in pitch darkness with them being the only people I'd seen for 5 hours. Settled in my car with my head and body covered as much as possible so people peering in would think I was male, I was startled awake at 3am by a worker evacuating the rest area due to a sewage leak. I had never been so scared in my life. In that instant, I felt vulnerable and wished to have found a hotel. Well, I moved on to a vista point all by my lonesome and was disturbed 3 hours later when the sun came up.
