Richfield, UT to Ely, NV

After sitting out a rainy day yesterday in Richfield we woke up to sun and just a little fog which quickly burned off.  Left the campground at 10 a.m., fueled up, and made the 243 mile trip to Ely.  Arlyene and Linda both drove today, all on good road but only two lane.  As before when we crossed this route we could go for many miles without having another car pass us in either direction.  There is a good reason why highway 50 is called, "The Loneliest Road In America."

 This is the second time we have passed by the entrance to Great Basin National Park.  I have been intrigued by this park both times we have gone through this area and I hope to get to visit the park on a future trip.

On arrival at the Ely KOA campground we were assigned sites side by side with this view out our windshields.  (Click on the picture for a larger view.)  Our route to Twin Falls, Idaho tomorrow will take us up the valley in the left portion of this photo which is a merge of four individual pictures.

For tonight we are back on Pacific Time after having been on Mountain Time for over a week.  Tomorrow, when we enter Idaho we will be back on Mountain Time again for a few days. It is all soooo confusing.  At least our cell phones keep track for us.....
