http://ronanita-alaska.blogspot.com/2009/07/july-5-ely-nevada-to-salt-lake-city.html
Ron and Anitas Alaska Sojourn. Friday, July 10, 2009. July 5 - Ely, Nevada to Salt Lake City, Utah. Once our excursion was done, we gassed the car and headed north. Whenever you drive in this part of the country, it's a good idea to make sure you don't run out of fuel 'cuz theres not a gas station on every corner. Most of the scenery is like that in the photo below. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. My Brilliant Political Commentary. My Prostate Cancer Blog. July 4 - Ely Parade.

The Fourth of July is a big day for celebratory patriotic parades across this great country, and Ely, Nevada is no exception.
