Good morning, all!
Today's photos are from the second day of our trip. We left our campsite in Sheldon NWR and drove east, then south, keeping to smaller highways and avoiding the interstate.
Our final destination for the day was Great Basin National Park, but we found a lot of interesting stuff along the way.
The drive to Great Basin took us on US Hwy 50, which we later found out is often called "the loneliest highway in America"...and with good reason! There were miles and miles of nothing...just bare hills, stunted sagebrush, and the occasional abandoned farm. There really wasn't even any traffic...to tell the truth, it was more than a little unnerving. I don't think we realized there were still places that barren and empty left in the lower 48.
We survived the lonely highway, though, and managed to snag the very last campsite at Great Basin NP just before dark.
More photos from Great Basin tomorrow, then on to Utah!
