Friday morning we left the Boulder Beach Campground at around 1030 or so. We had an enjoyable drive from Boulder Beach to Ely, NV. Our girl in the phone (GIP) wanted us to start out one way which didn't work, but a few miles later we were able to get on the right track.
Around 1600 we were pulling into the area of the Prospector Hotel in Ely, NV. We thought we'd stay there to visit the Mexican Restaurant, Margaritas but later in the afternoon we just weren't feeling it. I ended up making tacos in the trailer. $$ saved haha.
We awoke to temperature of 16 feels like 6..and yes it was cold. The heater did an awesome job all night long keeping us nice and toasty. We got ourselves ready and then headed into Margaritas for a nice breakfast.
We headed for Winnemucca down highway 50 and then turning onto NV 305N to Battle Mountain and then into Winnemucca. We had reservations at New Frontier RV Park where we always like to stay. $21.85 for the night, beautiful spots, bathrooms, and hookups. We are here for two nights.
This morning (Sunday) we slept in and then got ready to head for Walmart slowly. We went there with the intent of getting Thanksgiving stuff for the appetizers we are taking to Russell's on Thursday. What a great Walmart. Couldn't believe the number of maskless shoppers. Yes, there was the share of masks, but since Afton, Wyoming there hasn't been this many. Nice to see people given the choice of masks or not. The Adult program we used to call it at work. If masks work, then you shouldn't worry about my maskless face.
After that we came back to the trailer, put stuff away and then had our lunch. We were thinking of going out to our old neighborhood and checking in with some friends, but decided to just enjoy the afternoon here.
Tomorrow morning at 0850 I have my final labs at my Dr's office and then we'll head home. We'll be back next Sunday for my appointment on Monday.
Ken and I did some Christmas shopping online this afternoon. Guess it would have been cheaper to visit with friends LOL.
Close to Happy Hour time so i'll get this finished. Have a great evening.
That's cold. Glad your heater works great. Beautiful small towns in Nevada. Good luck with your lab work.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's cold! Thank you hope it's still all good! It's surprising how much NV has to offer other than gambling! haha.

DeleteWhat Doug said, that is cold nice to have a good heater to stay warm. Great pictures of your ride. Enjoyed them all. Take care. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteYeah it ran constantly overnight..I finally got flannel sheets on the bed too. Glad you enjoyed! Hugs to you both!
DeleteOoh ooh .... Austin. I so wanted to stop and investigate that little town but could not find a place big enough to park. I did enjoy Ely ... have you ridden the train? And of course Frontier RV Park is the perfect place to stop. Have you ever been inside the Casino?
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, it's a darling little town! Yes, we rode the Ghost Train several years ago and would love to do it again! WE have been in the casino but only to eat at Wingers..we don't gamble, luckily living in NV! haha
DeleteI've never travelled on Hwy. 50. I love all the towns and the openness of the area.
ReplyDeleteYou need to put it on your bucket list! It's our favorite way to travel east!
DeleteDefinitely a crisp start to the day.
ReplyDeleteLove the scenery. You're making us jealous.
Good luck on the test results.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving with your Family.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Glad you like it...hopefully next year you can enjoy some of the beauty. I'm hoping it's all good. You have a wonderful Thanksgiving too! :)
DeleteBeautiful scenery (well with the exception of smoggy L.V.) we are and will miss that a lot this winter.
ReplyDeleteJust reading comments gives me ideas for things we should do if we are ever up there again but I'll likely forget! LOL
Hope all goes well with your tests.
Yeah it was surprising how smoggy it was from afar. Thank you, just the regular tests but you always wonder until they're done!
