Marty's Travels

My house has wheels

Ely, NV

US93 is a pretty, but mostly dramatic, drive. Big, big, high desert valleys surrounded by snow-topped mountains, very sparsely populated. I’m in Ely now, not that much of a town, but it does have a completely functional short-line railroad designated as a museum and mainly volunteer operated. That’s what I’m here to see. The Prospector Hotel, Gambling Den, and RV Park has a couple of dozen spots at low rates which include electricity for heat.

It’s cold, down to 25 tonight.
