We're home! Nephi Utah to Ely, Nevada, Illipah camping, then home sweet home!

                                                                   We're home! 

What a great trip it was, but it's nice to have a home to come home to.  A lot cooler since we left a few weeks ago so we had to have a fire and a celebration. LOL

Our spot at the campground in Nephi, Utah.  

The office...
Delta, Utah 


Cute little town with gas stations and two grocery stores. 
No masking anywhere :) 




Very patriotic town! 




In between Delta and Great Basin area...

This is how it looked most of the day. Couldn't figure if it was dust or smoke
Didn't smell smoky 

Blogger is deciding on its' own where to put pics..
I bought these 3 cute bowls from the thrift store in Custer that supports
the senior center 😊

Ken found these in our car from when we at Just Country Friends in Fallon a few weeks ago..they were on the clearance rack so $3.25 for the both. Egg nog?!

Ken figures there was wind that pushed our trailer uphill a bit.  He chocked the 
wheels before we left..😊

Last night's fire at home...

We had a late lunch here yesterday at Sand Mountain..surprising to see 
trailers out there mid week and more coming in...

Love this spot on Highway 50..we've made lunch there several times while the grandkids climbed the mountain...good memories 😍



We pulled into Illipah reservoir after a great Linner at Margaritas in Ely, NV, this picture of our spot there.  Tables, shelter, fire pit, pit toilet if you need, dumpsters all for FREE! 

A nice sunset for free too! 


We made good use of the fire pit! Overnight the batteries died for the heater so we woke up to 21 degrees! Cold! Got the generator going at 0700 so we were toasty not too long after that! 



Leaving Ely, NV




                                Just weird the pictures loaded so out of sequence..OH well..

It was an awesome vacation but it's nice to be home too (for a little while LOL).  Cool temps, in the 30's this am and 70's this afternoon.  We ran to Walmart and then Ken went to Raleys for prescriptions while I finished grocery shopping. 

Grandson Mason sent me this picture of his truck.  He's got new tires and wheels on it! He wants to lower it this weekend, I told him it looked low to me already LOL..

Tomorrow I'll tally up what we spent. I really hate to look at the gas total, it was so expensive! We did almost 3500 miles. We'd do it again though 😊
