Day 3
photos. 1. Met up with Pony Express at a rest area north of Ely
2. Nature Reserve north of Vegal
3. Dinner with bib at crab restaurant in Hendersonville
Impressions I didn't photograph: The basin and range terrain of Nevada. The "buffalo trees" (maybe Juniper) because from a distance they look like buffalo.
Our car is truly filthy. Left this morning with a small bit of snow on the ground.and enough slush on the ground that passing trucks spattered our windshield and our car. Once we got onto dry pavement all went better and I could breathe easier. From Ely we took a route we hadn't taken before —a shortcut which went through Lund (an almost non-place). Met up with 93 and then stopped at a new Nature Reserve which has a wonderful visitor center and outdoor exhibits, and great bathrooms. Nevada is famous from pretty awful bathrooms at the rest areas. Made it through Vegas with only semi heavy traffic and to our hotel in Henderson where we have stayed before. Even with a lot of new restaurants it was a challenge finding a place to eat . We stumbled into a fun crab restaurant when we made a wrong turn. Tomorrow we should arrive in Tucson.
