Willard Bay State Park, Utah 9/11/09

What a L-O-N-G day! We pulled out of Nevada City at about 7:15 this morning with Elko, Nevada as our destination. Our big plan was to eat at a Basque Restaurant and then call it quits for the day. Well, we managed to miss lunch by nine minutes and were 3 hours short of dinner. We took a quick tour around town and since I wasn’t interested in gambling and Ned wasn’t interested in “hoochie mama” parlors, we decided to blow this popcorn stand. I’m not kidding about the girlie joints. Case in point, check out today’s picture! (Diddling- really??). We decided to push on to Utah, baby! Our back-up plan was to stay at Antelope State Park, an island with lots of wildlife (birds, bison, shrimp & flies) located on the Great Salt Lake. When we arrived, a little after 8 pm the campground was full. Hmmm – onto Plan C. We located another State Park about 45 miles north; the lovely Willard Bay State Park, very close to the freeway, but it includes free hot showers and internet access! wahoo! Looking forward to tomorrow when we hook-up with my folks, brother Gary and his wife Dru. Let the good times roll.
