I had a quick overnight trip to the lovely Ely, Nevada for SUU this weekend. Can't say it's one of my favorite trips, but I did find a few favorite things.....
My Favorite Things About Ely:
1. My Motel: This place was a GEM!
I think this switch is circa 1965.
Check out that tile!
Thanks Great Grandma Goose for donating this lovely wallhanging in 1979.
3. This sign on one of the lonliest stretches of highway:
4. Having 2 options for dinner after 8PM on a Sunday night: Arbys & McDonalds. French fries here I come!
5. Getting reaccqainted with some old CDs that I hadn't listened to in years since I had an 8 hour round trip.
Luckily -- There were some beautiful fall colors in Pahrangat Valley that added some variety to large boulders, dirt & lonely road.

Gotta love random work trips! After seeing that bathroom I'd get tested for hepatitis :).
I love it! It kinda reminds me of Blanding although with out the Arbys and Mcdonalds and nothing stays open until 8 pm! :)
Oh Ely...you always make boring, dull places look like a lot of fun to visit. That hotel room was fancy, are you sure they didn't give you the honeymoon suite?
haha
oh and yay for Oprah, I got in on that sweet deal!
Great Grandma Goose! Ha! Bless your heart for trekking out there year after year! Hip hip hooray for rural Nevada!
