This is getting to be routine for us although not a happy one to be sure. With an eye to our escape to the coast we planned a long drive today and the weather and road conditions did not disappoint. It was a beautiful dry sunny blue sky day just great for traveling and vie http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nevada/Ely/blog-335134.html Anoher great nights sleepmust be because we are fitting so much into our day and the sun coming up over the mountains in Vegas was quite something to behold.Decided to try IHOP International House lof Pancakes for breakfast and their closest restaurant was right next door.The menu seemed to have pancakes with everything when we just wanted bacon and eggs.After searching thru the menu for a few http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nevada/Ely/blog-324975.html You know you are in Nevada when you have to stop at a casino for a coffee Today we rode into Nevada after staying the night in Twin Falls Idaho. The lack of any previous bike trips this summer finally caught up with us yesterday and we ended up going to sleep at an ungodly early hour. We both obviously needed the sleep and feel much better today. The sun finally appeared yesterday afternoon http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nevada/Ely/blog-296241.html My dear cousin Louise. We will miss you so much. R.I.P. Louise Chabrier Reeves Age 20 of Passed away September 26 2007 after a long and valiant fight with Leukemia. She was born February 27 1987 in San Diego CA. Louise resided in Ann Arbor from the time she was 8yrs. old. She graduated from Huron High School in 2005 where she was involved with the Huron Players and TheYoung Democrats. After http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nevada/Ely/blog-206776.html First the Extraterrestrial Highway. Not one alien the whole drive So dissapointing Actually there weren't even a bunch of hoaky signs posted all along this road which is famous for being he road on which the most flying saucer a d alien sightings have taken place. It's also supposed to be the highway off of which Area 51 exists. But in areality the highway borders an air force proving groun http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nevada/Ely/blog-162227.html 1st to 3rd August 2006The ride across Nevada was in terms of time short but sweet. However this blog entry about it is not. So put the kettle on put your feet up and settle down for more of my musings on all things American.The chosen route across the state was Highway Fifty The Lonliest Road in America. So named because a AAA representative once described it in Life Magazine as Totall http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nevada/Ely/blog-83430.html We headed East from Fallon NV after picking up our passport at the Visitor Information Center. If we get it stamped at each of the mileposts along the route we can send it in and the state will send us a certificate documenting we survived the loneliest road in America. Highlights were 8000 year old petroglyphs at Grimes Point Sand Mountain a HUGE sand dune in a very unexpected place http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Nevada/Ely/blog-71708.html
