Nevada & Idaho


After Shosone Falls, we spent a few days in rural northern Nevada, in the Lamoille Canyon area around Elko.  The mountains were beautiful, and I ran one of the prettiest road marathon's I've ever ran there.  We had a good hike, and despite a rainy evening, had a nice campfire and good night's sleep.



The man who came into the restaurant where we were enjoying breakfast didn't look much like Sherriff Taylor, but his car was perfect for the part!


We spent some time at the Northeastern Nevada Museum while the car was in the shop.  This car was the only one, to Hans' disappointment, but the historical and art exhibits were both interesting.  Also a room positively full of taxidermy, with more animals on display than many zoos!



Back in Idaho, we visited with some close friends (two families) who we haven't seen in over six years...it's amazing how much the kids have all grown!  They didn't really remember each other, of course, but settled in and had a great weekend playing with their "cousins".  From here, we're off to Portland to see more friends!
