Fri 14th Oct
Continued east along US50 from Ely on more long straight roads and great views through the deserts and mountains. At Connor's Pass got our first sight of Wheeler Peak 13,063 ft.
Stopped off at Great Basin National Park at the base of Wheeler Peak, drove up the park scenic drive to over 10,000ft. Very scenic and breathtaking - particularly for ex smokers :-(
Continued east into Utah - entering Mountain Time, so only 7 hrs behind the UK now.
Turned north on US6 just after Eureka and overnighted at Springville, which is just south of Salt Lake City. The highlight of the evening was a cod and chips supper. Not quite up to Gill's standard in the Sluice but very welcome nevertheless.
Gas prices are now down to $2.89.
Plan for tomorrow is to continue south-east towards Moab.
