Got an early start from Ely this morning. More US 50, "the Loneliest Road in America". It lived up to its name. Long stretches of straight road with curved windy roads through and over the series of ridges that run north-south across Nevada. They are not small hills but range from 5,000 - 6,000 ft. summits. There was also very little traffic. The long haul truckers avoid it and stick to either I-80 to the north or I-10 to the south. Luckily, there was very little wind which made the trip easier. We travelled 320 miles today and only went through two small towns along the way, both county seats.
We arrived in Fernley NV about 30 miles east of Reno around 3:00 pm. We didn't want to push it all the way home after a long day driving. We stayed at an RV park that was featured in a recent movie, Nomadland. The park was the Desert Rose RV Park. There was also a lot of smoke in the air from a wildfire southwest of Reno. We also had some rain overnight. It was early to bed after dinner in the RV.
