High Desert Inn Elko

West Wendover is in Nevada.

Wendover is in Utah.

Really now, are there two states that could be more different? And they are neighbors?

What are the odds? Oh, to figure that you'd better make sure you're on the Nevada side of the border. :-)

Then we go a couple more hours and stop for lunch – usually at a McDonald’s PlayLand. (David printed out a big list of PlayLands along our route.) Then a couple more hours and another break. Brady likes to follow along with the stretch routine that my personal trainer (i.e. my mother-in-law, Jackie) created for our car trip before we left. Brady also LOVES ...

Today we drove over 500 miles to northwest Nevada. I will never again complain about the ride to my sister Margaret's. Today's drive was mostly desert, scrub, more desert and more scrub. We left Pacifica/San Francisco where it was about 55 degrees and really foggy. Soon it was back to the desert and 90 degrees. Tomorrow we are scheduled to reach Yellowstone.

we woke up in Wyoming again, then cruised into Salt Lake City.

SLC was a place we planned on hitting. I always wanted to see the city and Vanessa saw a Diners, Drive Inns and Dives episode featuring the Mexican food of the Red Iguana, a Salt Lake favorite.

As we pulled in, the rain hit and continued. So instead of walking around the city, we drove around a bit before lunch. We ...

... Sure enough, he was right and a minute later the diesel settled down.  Now, you would think that after two months of wrangling to get my leave approved, the RV's generator being broken and then the electric system, and now almost the engine, NOW we would be ready to leave.  But wait, there's more!


 Next we spent almost two ...

... just confirming the rule... Friday, we said goodbye to our Sunnyvale apt, and... half an hour later came back to it! good we didn't get rid of the keys right away! we slept on the floor because the entire apt. was empty. the only thing we had was... internet. we were exploring our options after we found out that our car cannot pull the heavy trailer we had, and at ...

... to the internet. Got some information on Nevada and pushed off for the town of Elko. On our way to Elko we passed through the town of Wells. Although we did not see any damage, I was told once we were in Elko by one of the locals that Wells was badly damaged due to the earthquake that hit it in early May. We should of had some inkling how bad this RV park was going to be with a name like Double Dice. Imagine after driving for as long as we ...

Dean: We decided to stop off in Salt Lake City in order to break up the travel from Yellowstone to San Francisco, spending just over a day in the city that is the center of the Mormon religion (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). We checked out the main city sights, including the Mormon temple square, which included a guided tour of some of the main Mormon buildings. It was all very interesting but not for Alex and I (with us both being quite opinionated on religion).
