Almost Half Way Down the Length of Nevada...Ely!
We departed Jackpot too early! Still chilly, and we wore our sweatshirts and ran the heater in the coach for a couple of hours! And, we departed at 7:50 AM Pacific Mountain Time! (Technically, Jackpot is on Mountain Time, but we refused to change our watches!) There was so much haze (from smoke) that it blocked the warm sun rays! But, after a couple of hours, the heat was switched to air and the sweatshirts discarded! Such great country!
With such an early start (for us!), we were set up in our spot at the Ely KOA by 1 PM PDT. It was warm, 81 degrees, but as evening settles in, we have the windows open with cool air passing through. Low tonight will be mid 40's....! Ely is usually cool, but especially in September!
Here is our route....almost a straight shot down! All you could see was the road stretching straight ahead of you--disappearing over a hill, and occasionally turning slightly...Well, we did have to stop and turn right to continue on US 93...! But we didn't. We turned before, and stopped for lunch! Total miles today: 208. Just right!
