Ely Nevada in the Rain


Posted by Rich


We drove to Ely yesterday, The scenary is so different to us. The road is as straight as an arrow at times and it just dissapears into the mountains ahead. Then it gets twisty and you drive up and down through another mountain range. The passes are all over 7400 ft. but the Monaco handles them just fine. We drove for many miles without seeing another vehicle. This is an awesome trip.

This morning we woke up to some heavy rain. People around here were acting like folks do at home the first time it snows (I guess it hasn't rained in months). Gorgie saw a guy in a four wheeler runthrough a mud puddle, turn around and do it again.

We are staying in an RV park that is part of the Prospector Hotel and Gambling Hall. It's not much but we have full hookups and are comfortable.

In the morning we start heading south on US Hwy. 93. Our next stop will be at Cathedral Gorge State Park near the town of Panaca,NV. There are no hookups available so we will be boondocking on our batteries and generator for two nights. Also there will not be any cell service as well. The Verizon broadband card we bought to have internet access has worked great we had more bars on it than we did on our phones.


More Later, Rich

Hi again, I was outside watering and cutting the last of the flowers and was thinking about that you two should really go see "3:10 to Yuma" when you get to a city -- it will remind you of how they used to live in that country you've been traveling in. Coincidentally, your post is dated 3:10 by Richie, so I think you suppose to go to this movie...ha! Have fun - Love Annie
