"There is a Sunrise and a Sunset every single day, and they are
absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them." -- Jo Walton
I don't follow that advice nearly enough and miss far too many. I quite enjoyed this sunrise on the road between Delta, Utah, and Ely, Nevada. |
|
|
US-6 had merged with US-50 in Delta and it was time to follow both of them
west.

As I pulled even with and passed a large field of wind turbines, I could
see that they weren't nearly as randomly placed as it first appeared.
|

|
Yesterday I checked out some charcoal furnaces by pulling to the side of
the road and walking a few feet. Today I'm driving six miles of open range
gravel road and walking maybe a hundred yards to do the same thing.

In Ely, my first stop was for breakfast at
Nardi's. The sign and the GPS still call it
Silver State despite an owner and name change occurring nearly a year ago.
Following breakfast, I popped into the
Hotel Nevada
for one beer. Then I decided to drive by a place I'd patronized on a
previous visit and I asked Google Maps for help. I often use voice search
when I'm driving and two of my frequent requests are "breakfast"
and "brewery". Today I tried another "br..." word,
"brothel". Google had no trouble recognizing the word but the
search came up empty. I've successfully searched for much worse so can't
believe the failure had anything to do with censuring. Maybe it's the way
the business identifies itself. Business, by the way, must be reasonably
good since the Big Four, where I once had a beer, now has some cross
street competition.

Next I was off to Tonopah for a night at the world famous
Clown
Motel. The experience was underwhelming, but one I'm happy to check
off the list. The Clown Motel is essentially a somewhat rundown motel that
has been converted to a somewhat tacky somewhat rundown motel. But they
do have clowns. Lots of clowns. And not just any clowns; These are
priceless. Look here to see what's behind door
number 110.
