Change in Route from St. George, UT to Lee Vining, CA

I've decided it's not wise to travel into the center of Nevada without knowing with certainty that places exist for food and water. There's the Lil"A'le'Inn smack in the middle of the Extraterrestrial Highway. But what else? Nothing shows up on a map, or a town on one map is missing from another. Maybe UFOs have beamed everyone and everything up! Thus, I'll be leaving St. George toward Las Vegas, and then biking up western Nevada along the California state line, squeezing between Death Valley and an Air Force bombing range, where maybe there'll be one or two stragglers stumbling from Death Valley toward the Air Force range and million dollar bombs, and finally passing through Bishop toward Lee Vining and the eastern entrance to Yosemite. The good news, and it's worth an extra 21 miles, is that there are several towns are along the route with water and food.

Total Miles = 429 Miles
