My May 2012 road trip~WA to AZ and back again

[teddyearp]

The next morning:

An old homestead along US 93:

I forget what town this is, Maybe Ely(?) still in Nevada:

I know the above picture wasn't taken in Wells, NV, but there was something in Wells that was of note. I had my CB on and tuned to CH 19, the channel of the open road. Well there were a few broadcasts by a lady advertising her ranch. "Come and let us make all your dreams come true". And advertising the breast size of her 'ladies'. Quite a laugh, you had to have been there, lol.


Anyways, crossing state lines:

And HFTN, May 14, 2012 about 30 miles west of Baker City, OR and north of Sumpter, OR. I had camped here before while heading home from a road trip in 2010, so it was known to me and convenient. And on this trip, the best part was it was still free, the 'charging' season started the very next day, but it's still only $6:

Now to finish off this trip, here's a couple of random pics on May 15, 2012 of Phillips Lake and Baker City, OR:

And my final notes for this part of my trip is that the whole area of NE Nevada seemed intriguing, it might warrant another vacation all of it's own for exploration.


Hope you enjoyed!



And my whole album for this whole trip is here:

I must have missed something in NE Nevada. We drove down from Twin Falls in ID to Wells then out into UT though Wendover. The only thing I remember were the casinos and liqour stores at both borders. We stucks to I-15 on the return trip. That town further south Ely looks cool.

Nice Beef. That's the best way to cook outside. Over the open flame. Steak over the campfire is my favorite camp meal, Blueberry pancakes and bacon cooked in a cast iron is second.

Pita pit is terrible.

Thanks. Yes, the part of NV you went through is not very pretty, you'll notice I stopped taking many pictures after leaving Wells. Got to go further south on US 93.
