We spent most of the day at 75 mph on US Route 50, "The Loneliest Road in America", and then on US 93 north to Wells, Nevada. Nothing to see or stop for along the way, but spectacular scenery with a series of mountain ranges and wide valleys. Stopped at a favorite little Oasis on the border of Utah and Nevada called "Border" for lunch, and lost a few quarters in the slots. This little place is 50 miles from anything in any direction, but it has a motel, cafe, gift shop, gas station and casino!
Should be home by early afternoon tomorrow. After 16 days and about 4000 miles, we are ready to get home! Its been a great trip and we loved traveling in our new VW, which averaged about 44 mpg of diesel.
We saw everything we intended to visit and found some fun surprises along the way.
Unless something spectacular happens tomorrow, this will be our last post of this trip. We hope you have enjoyed reading our blog!

ReplyDeleteWHY ARE MORMONS SO CORRUPT? IS THIS WHY THEY HIDE BEHIND THE FACADE OF CHRISTIANITY, SO PEOPLE WILL THINK THEY'RE GOD-FEARING AND TRUSTWORTHY?
ReplyDeleteJOLENE SUPP - CITY MANAGER FOR WELLS, NEVADA - HAS BEEN UP ON CHARGES FOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST YET SHE'S NEVER BEEN INDICTED. IT'S BECAUSE ONLY MORMONS LIKE HER ARE IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE REVIEW PROCESS.
HOW BAD DOES IT HAVE TO GET BEFORE DECENT CITIZENS BEGIN SCREAMING FOR THE SAME KIND OF REFORMS OTHER CITIES HAVE UNDERGONE? ARE THERE ANY DECENT CITIZENS IN ELKO COUNTY, NEVADA?
