Manti, UT to Ely, NV

The people at the Yardley Inn were kind enough to prepare our breakfast at 6 am. The woman in charge was off on a training session so I don't think the breakfast was up to their usual standards. We learned quite a bit about the Mormon faith, all about how the temple is used, and a bit more about the Miracle Pageant.

We were fed, prayed, and off by 6:30 ish. We fueled down the road, but it is a little concerning that the prices have skyrocketed and then we pulled up and they were out of gas!

Yep, this is about how boring the ride was today. And it was hot. And VERY windy. It was tough to keep the bikes up and our heads were whipped around.

This is the place where Rick went to gamble. In case you can't read the sign the rooms started at $35, biker friendly, open the door and smoke wafted out on to the street, advertising for penny slots (which sucked Scott right in, and Rick followed). The penny slots required a $20 investment. Scott said "no way" it was too rich for his blood. But Rick jumped right in, waved his $20, pulled the one armed bandit and......Rick held his breath.....bells, whistles, and lights went off....Rick had no idea what was going on, but he grabbed his winnings (over $100)...finished off his comped rum and coke.....and he ran for the door. Everyone jumped on his machine as he crossed the street waving his cash at the gang. Scott asked for his commission but I'm pretty sure he won't be seeing anything.

Very small and simple rooms at the Steptoe Valley Inn.

Tom went to visit the Train Museum and then ride the diesel engine train for $24. The rest of us are too lazy to get up and go. This train is a lot like the Sunol train.
