The Road to Ely


The drive from Denver to Utah was beautiful if a bit treacherous towing the Biff. The mountains still had boat loads of snow on the peaks. Traffic was steady on I70 till we hit the Utah border. Just too many people in Colorado for me.

We stayed the night in Green River - pretty much your only choice on I70! Green River SP is pretty little park, RV sites are large but no hookups. Saw another Excel with NM plates staying there but did not know the folks.

Once you leave Green River the scenary becomes quite dramatic and desolate. The next town and gas station is 100 miles away. We then continued on to Ely, Nevada on highway 50. The land is flat and welcome change after the drive from Green River to Delta. Looks like large salt flats very sureal and beautiful.

Decided to stay two nights in Ely at the KOA. Took a pretty little hike in Cave Lake SP on Mother's day. JLS
