[QUOTE="Mooney 78865, post: 20850, member: 175"] Well, I've made it home. Where to start, first I've got to say this was the [I][B]BEST VACATION/TRIP[/B][/I] I have ever done! Started out Saturday morning 0700 down the drive way. First stop was McDonald's in Oakhurst for more coffee. Then off through Yosemite. I've got to say Yosemite is beautiful and all but [I][B]damn[/B][/I] it takes a long time to get to the other side! Finally through and off to Ely Nevada for the first night. Had a really strong cross/head wind most of the day. 20-30 mph I would guess. Made it to Ely about 6 pm and set up camp at the local KOA for the night. Up early for the mandatory stop at McDonald's for coffee, then on the road around 0700 again.[IMG]http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee353/mooney78865/Moab/Moab020.jpg[/IMG] Who ever said these are the loneliest roads in America they were right!
