So I'm a little behind on the bloggy goodness. Lack of wireless access whilst traversing the middle of nowhere.

The other day I headed out of Bliss, ID and drove around looking for something to snap photos of. That area of Idaho is peppered with waterfalls, and I managed to find Shoshone Falls.

Shoshone Falls in Idaho. Taller than Niagra Falls.

After that I headed down the two-lane blacktop towards Nevada, and launched a few postcards from Jackpot, NV.

Stacey the Cowgirl in Jackpot, NV.

Met an interesting character at the post office -- she was headed from parts unknown towards Vegas. After chatting with Stacey for a little while, I headed back down US Route 93 towards Ely -- pronounced Ellie.

Blew through Lages Station -- a one-building town.

McGill, NV.

Stopped for a few minutes in McGill, NV.

5 trout limit, on Highway 50 heading towards Utah.

I picked up US Route 50 in Ely, NV. Route 50 in Nevada has earned the moniker of the loneliest road in America. I only drove the eastern most 60 miles or so, but I'm a believer. The first 100 miles across the Utah state line was much of the same.

These are the decisions I face every day. Straight ahead towards Delta, UT? Or make the right towards the Hoover Dam?

I sat at the junction of 50 and 93 for a little while. I couldn't decide whether to keep heading east, or turn south.

I decided to press on towards Utah. Nevada was beautiful, but I had one more state I had never visited, and it was just over that mountain.
