Day 10:
Today we left Ely, Nevada to ride what is known as the Loneliest highway. The photo of me above in Ely was taken at our motel known as "the Jailhouse". The name comes from the fact it is built on the site of the old jailhouse. The cell door is all that remains. While the day started out cool it quickly warmed as we headed out under a clear blue sky. I mean not a cloud to be found anywhere. It remained that way until in the early afternoon when a few billowy white clouds started showing up but that was about it for the rest of the day. By then it was starting to get hot although it was still cool by desert standards. Along the way we stopped at about 6 different towns to get our "I survived the Loneliest Road" books stamped. We turned them in at the last stop and should receive a certificate soon proving we rode the road. we ended the day early in Carson City, Nevada. We took advantage of the short day by catching up on laundry. Tomorrow we should finally reach California sometime in the morning. Our final destination for the day is as yet undetermined but we could reach the redwoods by the end of the day. We'll see tomorrow.
Mom called me to tell me that you called her. I called her back and read your blogs to her. I told her I would call her every couple of days to read them to her. Someone at Kenny's house could just set up a link for her but I don't know if they know how or not.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep her up todate.
