Day 7: Kingman to Ely (almost)

The day started out so well.... Over the Pat Tillman Bridge by Hoover Dam, into Vegas, down the Strip, drive by of the new Sphere, then through Valley of Fire State Park. All in beautiful, dry, and not cold weather.

Now I'm stuck again, this time about 35 miles south of Ely, NV. When you get out on desolate roads, you keep going to the next gas station. Only then can you think about going back. So, when the snow started in earnest around 1130, I kept pushing north until I came to the next gas station in Lund. It's so close to Ely, but there's a mountain pass I have to traverse between here and there, one that the truckers are having to use snow chains on today. I've opted for a room and hot meal instead of icy or slushy roads. The precipitation should pass this afternoon, then the traffic should clear the road by morning. Fingers crossed for me yet again.

So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
