Leaving Nevada

Left Ely headed south on US 50.  Road looks much the same as the one we came in on.

P1150938

Typical Great Basin view.

We weren’t done with passes.  Still two to go before leaving Nevada.

P1150940

Junction of sagebrush and Pinion forest

P1150944

Nevada is not all flat and desert.

 

P1150951

Last pass before leaving Nevada.  Feels like home  Smile

 

P1150953

We have been here several times.  Skipped it this trip.

 

P1150956

The end of this endless stretch and the mountains beyond is Utah.

 

P1150958

The Promised Land – for some.  Last chance at a casino is off camera to right.

Never know what you’ll see on US 50.

P1150970

Got to Fillmore a little after noon.

Town and specifically the southeast corner of statehouse is the geographic center of the state.  Brigham Young, in what is considered a political move, named the town ( Fillmore ) and the county (Millard) after the then president.
