Almost home





Today was a long driving day on the "loneliest road" (Hwy 50) again. We took the same route last year on our way home from North Dakota. But last year it was brown and this time it was green, which made the trip much prettier.


We noticed all the small towns we drove thru had American flags flying on every corner.


Another thing we noticed was the "cattle" warning sign. Nevada's cow is less placid and more angry looking than Arizona's cow in the photo from July 4.








We saw beautiful wildflowers on prickly stems with prickly seed pods in several patches along the way.




We arrived in Boomtown after 6 hours on the road in time for Gary to shop at Cabela's. This was one of the top three parts of our trip for him (fishing with his cousin, Mike, the Grand Canyon and shopping at Cabela's).



Tomorrow will be a short trip home. Phew!
