bodldopsElko is a nice little town, with a Cowboy Poetry Headquarters and a lot of concrete barriers to keep people from driving into the bushes. Evidently July 4th is a big deal here, since almost every restraunt we tried was closed for the day. We eneded up at the casino restraunt (which never closes), and I had chicken fettichini. It was... different. Not bad - though the cheesy garlic toast that came with it was pretty foul.
Back at the hotel I convinced mom to come on a swim with me. It was a little pool, so there were lots of little laps. Then we waited and waited and waited for the fireworks show, and nearly gave up on it, when finally they decided it was the perfect time for fireworks.
They put on a very good show in Elko. Very flashy and bright - I took some pictures, some more... 'artistic' than others. Meaning perhaps doing that on a stand instead of me holding the camera would be a good idea.
Breakfast was good, eggs and ham and fruit, and we've just driven through Wells on our way to Idaho Falls. Evidently we are going to the potato museum on the way there. They offer a 'free potato product of your choice'. Sis wants vodka. :D
No wildlife yet beyond bugs. Boo.
Hrm. Connection is not letting me send this. *repeatedly hits post* Hrm. We seem to have gone out of range.
A CD of Selected Shorts has been turned on. 'Classic Fairytales Revisited'. Could be good!
