March 21-22

Ok, so now we are really on our way home....or so I thought. Arrived in Ely, NV just in time for a major storm. Boondocked the first night in a motel parking lot north of town and prayed that my trailer would not blow away during a horrendous thunder storm with lightning that lit up the sky and winds in excess of 50 mph.
Next day, forecast was no better so opted to get a spot in the local RV/Casino campground. Stayed at the Prospectors in Ely for $14.95 + tx and enjoyed full hookups, free wi-fi, free margaritas, a nice dinner, swim in the pool, soaked in the jacuzzi spa, but skipped the fitness room and won a couple bucks in the casino. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. All in all, it was worth the price to be civilized for a change.
Next morning, 22 degrees, snow on the ground, high winds predicted and I'm ready to roll anyway.
Got home to Idaho about 4 pm after about 5 plus hours of driving in sustained winds of 30-35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. It was kind of like riding a bucking horse.......you just hang on and hope for the best!
