Homeward Bound

Today we started our journey home. It has been fun but we are both getting homesick. We drove across Nevada from Reno to Elko. Approximately 300 miles of what you see in the pictures---a valley between mountains in the desert----some very interesting rock formations, very few people or towns but it did have its own beauty. It is what Stacey's son, Collin who lives in Vegas would call a brown world. We saw hot springs steaming up out of the ground and hundreds of sheep being herded---noticeable by all the dust in the air. Elko is where the first gambling was in Nevada. It is in cowboy country and the town looks very old with saloons and bars down main street. They have large silver and gold mines here. There is a great deal of snow on the mountains so we will head out there tomorrow




We saw this sign on the interstate. Wonder what this is all about ???
