Day 166 – Loneliest Road in America – Part 3

Day 166 of Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

I started the morning at the local coffee shop. It seems like almost every town in America has a coffee shop these days. I grabbed a drip and muffin to go and sped along Highway 50, also the Lincoln Highway, for 75 miles until I reached Ely. Here I picked the Convention Center and Visitor Bureau to stamp my survival guide. With my five stamps, I can now claim that I have survived “The Loneliest Road in America”. I plan to mail the postage paid card to the State of Nevada to receive my certificate signed by the Governor!

Day 165 – Loneliest Road in America – Part 2

Petey and I hung out at the Desert Rose RV Park for a while this morning to take advantage of electricity, the internet, and laundry. We finally hit the road around 10 am and made our first stop in Fallon to collect our next stamp for our Loneliest Road in America adventure. We didn’t stay long in the town, but instead followed Stillwater Road to Stillwater Wildlife Management Area and Refuge.

Day 164 – Loneliest Road in America

Day 164 of Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

I got a slow start to the morning today as I began my adventure on the Loneliest Road in America. The charger on my computer died last night, so I needed to stick around a large city to go in search of another one when the stores opened. In the meantime, I stopped off at Bowers Mansion located at a state park between Reno and Carson City. According to the posted signs, the mansion offers a glimpse into Nevada life in the 1860’s. The mansion, built in 1864 by Comstock millionaires Sandy Bowers and Allison “Eilley” Oram, reflects the rags-to riches-to rags story commonly associated with Nevada’s silver boom.
