Day 3: Ely NV to Delta UT

Splash pad and 100+F

Day 3: Ely NV to (hopefully) Vernal UT

Aiming to see dinosaur bones tomorrow. Perhaps there is some DNA we can examine. Our van is generally running well, a bit of detonation under load, uphill, at altitude, so need to back off a little sometimes. Interestingly the oil pressure reads high when backing off the throttle after a long uphill so need to figure out how bad that is.

Day 2: Placerville CA to Ely NV via Route 50

About 408 miles, lunch in Carson City at Adele's which was very good. Go there and eat. Lots of 6-7,000ft mountain passes along Route 50, good swimming pool in Austin NV. 

Day 2: Shoe Tree Near Austin


Day 2: Swim Before Starting



Day 1: Home to Placerville CA

Just arrived in Placerville, goal for the day was to get on the road, kind of a late start but here we are, 120mi into our 3000+ mile trip mostly via Route 50. Hope everyone has a great summer, I will be working while in NYC and Michigan.
