Day 50 - June 28

Today we traversed the great state of Nevada. We had originally planned to go through Ely and across as it seemed a more direct route and was country that neither Donna nor I had ever seen. Well, Mildred (our GPS) had a brain fade and lost its satellites and by the time we discovered it we were north of our turn off. So, when we reprogrammed it to take us to Carson city it took us across I 80 rather than the original planned route. The short story of this long drive is I am ever so greatful for books on tape or I would have been bored to tears. We are only mildly more impressed with Nevada then we were in our route across Utah. For us it is the great Pacific Northwest that holds our hearts.

Oh yes, we did find the one lost and out of place barn. What a surprise that Donna would find it!

We arrived in Carson City around 4:00 PM and settled everything in then headed across the street to a small casino for an early dinner and of course a little rotary entertainment. Needless to say, as usual I lost my $5 and Donna turned hers into $15...it never fails...but at least we left with a net $5 ahead. A quick trip up the road to a local Costco for some new books on tape (CD actually) for the trip home.
