Day 11

Yesterday in West Yellowstone we were walking down the main street when I saw this sign in a restaurant. Small world!





Then Jeff saw the football allegiance of the Bullwinkles Bar and restaurant.
That made the decision for us as to where we were going for a beer.




For those of you in Europe, Jeff is from Wisconsin and the sign is for the Green Bay Packers football team. (Yes I mean real football, you know, 350 pound guys in body armor)

We left Montana this morning and this was the point at which we were headed for home. In a straight shot, we were about 1200 miles away from home, but we aren't going that way.






The ride today was as boring as the ride yesterday was majestic.
All that I can say about Idaho is that they have some great John Deere dealerships.
I did see a sign that made me smile, it was a Kindergarten called, wait for it...

Tater Tots.

There are a lot of wind farms being constructed but none that I could see that were active.


We arrived in Elko totally beat up due to road works and strong cross winds. Only to find that the street in front of the hotel was all torn up, nothing but the gravel base left.

We walked up to the biggest casino in town, "The Red Lion" where I managed to turn $100 into $165 which was enough to pay for dinner in their best restaurant. The $65 paid for dinner for us both, the $100 I put back in my billfold.

Tomorrow we head for Reno via Virginia City and the Buckets of Blood.
