It was a beautiful morning in Nampa, Idaho. We got an early start(?) today because Nampa is on Mountain Time. The weather forecast suggested sun in the morning with possible showers after noon. Sure enough, at noon it started to rain.
We've certainly been fortunate with the weather - lots of short bursts and variety. We continue to enjoy the magnificent scenery - more rivers and farmland in Idaho and fabulous snow-covered mountains in Nevada as we drive through the wide valleys. The sky and clouds and sun and changing scenery make for a pleasant journey.
We are in Ely, Nevada for the third time and still really like the town. We came in from the north, crossing the original Pony Express trail. I can't imagine covering the distances on horseback - it's difficult enough to sit in a car between Starbucks (lots of them and competitors - all with drive-throughs and lines of cars). We went for a walk around downtown and into the residential area and noticed the ravaged streets, sidewalks, houses and yards. We also noticed we were the only ones out walking. By the time we got back to our motel, the rain was starting to come down and looked more like snow on our jackets.
Tomorrow we head for Las Vegas and have reservations at the Golden Nugget downtown. Weather.com says it will be in the 80's there. The only summer clothes we have along are our swimsuits. Could be interesting,
