Breakfast in Searchlight means McDonald's again (ugh); I admire the old Colton Mine headframe on the way back to my motel room

I kept waking up with weird dreams all night long, but always fell back asleep instantly.

I have a "big breakfast" (scrambled eggs, hotcakes, biscuit, sausage and hash-brown patty) plus an extra Egg McMuffin.

McDonald's iced coffee is surprisingly decent, but it takes special effort for them to make it black for me (not put milk in it).
