It doesn’t look like much on a map, but today’s drive had some very spectacular scenery going across US 6/50 from Ely, UT to Delta, NV. There are beautiful mountains, rock formations, National Forests and fertile valleys.
The weather was a bit disagreeable since there were gusty winds most of the way over the 150 mile long route. It was a considerable challenge to keep the big slab-sided bus going straight, but we managed. The winds varied from a quartering tail wind to a full-on tail wind with velocity of 25 to 35 and some gusts up in the 50’s I’m sure. We are still getting gusts here in camp, but not on the same order as those on the road.
Tomorrow will find us on the road headed toward the eastern part of Utah with a planned stop near Arches National Park near Moab, UT. We have traveled most of tomorrow’s route on prior vacations and expect to see the same spectacular scenery as before. On this route, if you don’t like the scenery, just wait five minutes and it will change.
