Red Lion Hotel & Casino 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. :-)

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.

... breaks of sunshine before another round of storms.

now in Nevada for the night, we decided to do this entry tomorrow, just chill and go to bed early, but I began to think that it was extremely bright for 9:00. Vanessa picked up her phone and we realized that we passed through into the Pacific time. So that extra hour gave us the time to keep you up to date.

Tomorrows Reno, NV...

... once in hopes of riding on their track but it was closed for maintenance the one day we                                            went there because of an upcoming race the following weekend.


From here we are headed to Elko, NV and then on to Jackson Hole, WY.  That will be another long drive so we better get some shuteye.  :P

... sitting with a laptop and trying to get done as many things as we can before we hit the road again... I wonder if our dining is going to look like that during our entire trip: we enter the restaurant each of us with a black laptop case and instead of asking for menu we ask if they have free internet... then we look at the menu in a speed-up mode, and dive into the ...

... 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).
