Farewell Ketchum and Sun Valley. After thinking about it a little more, we decided not to stay here for one more night but to push on in to Elko, we could make the most of the day without needing a room for the night. Steve chose his bike route so went off on that adventure and Ollie and I went back to the base area and then for a swim. There we were accosted by the same aged lady who had about 8 yappy dogs in her possession, or lack of; they yipped and squeaked and chased Ollie around and around in small circles snapping at his ankles: he clearly was not having fun with his tail wedged firmly between his hind legs. "Oh, they love to chase, they won't hurt but they love to chase" simpered the old lady. The last straw was when one of the short legged snappy ones kicked dirt all over my bag with it's back legs, that was it; I grabbed my things, saved Ollie and marched up back to the hotel.
We waited for Steve to ring to let us know that he'd finished and when he had, we drove down to the Trail Head and loaded up the truck and set off for some lunch then headed on our way out of the town to Elko, NV.
Luckily it was short driving day so we arrived in Elko at 8pm (we'd also gained our last hour), we checked in to our hotel, ate some pizza and went to bed ready for our ultimate drive tomorrow in to California.
Glad you made it and congratulations on the job, Steve. What took you so long to find one?
