Our route, US Hwy 93, took us from Ely, Nv., rest the of the way to here. 









By the way, here is a trick: If you double click on a photo, you will get a larger version.

Nevada[edit]

US 93 heading towards Alamo, Nevada

US 93 enters Nevada where Interstate 11 begins: on the Hoover Dam Bypass. US 93 then winds its way west-southwest through Boulder City before merging with US 95 past the interchange with State Route 173. They then curve northwest toward Las Vegas. These combined routes then join and run concurrent with the Interstate 11 and Interstate 515 freeways through Henderson and southeastern Las Vegas, where US 93 exits at the Las Vegas Spaghetti Bowl interchange just northwest of downtown, heading northbound concurrently with Interstate 15. Those two routes then run in a northeasterly direction through North Las Vegas until they exit the metro area, where US 93 diverges from I-15 at Apex to head north toward Great Basin National Park. Near there, the highway joins with the combined US Routes 6 and 50 to run northwest toward Ely. In Ely, US 6 first departs and heads west toward Tonopah. Then, shortly thereafter, US 50 departs US 93 to continue west toward Fallon and Reno (via US 50 Alt west, US 95 Alt north, and I-80 west) and Carson City. Upon reaching Lages StationUS 93 Alt splits off in a northeasterly direction toward West Wendover. The main route of US 93 continues north from Lages Station, intersecting Interstate 80 at Wells before crossing the Idaho state line near Jackpot.

Between State Route 318 and Majors Junction (US 6 and 50), US 93 is designated a Nevada Scenic Byway.[8]

From Ely to Schellbourne Ranch, US 93 is part of the Lincoln Highway,[9] the first road across the United States.

Idaho[edit]

US 93 entering Grand View Canyon (between Mackay and ChallisIdaho)

Shortly after entering Idaho at Jackpot, Nevada, US 93 passes US 30 as it enters Twin Falls. North of here, the highway crosses the Snake River Canyon via the Perrine Bridge en route to an interchange with Interstate 84. US 93 passes through Shoshone and runs concurrently with US Routes 26 and 20 before reaching Arco. The highway then turns northwest to enter the Big Lost River valley through Mackay.

Just south of Challis, US 93 becomes the northern leg of the Salmon River Scenic Byway as it heads toward the town of Salmon.[10] From there, the highway follows portions of the Lewis and Clark Trail and passes through the Salmon-Challis National Forest before entering Montana.


As we were driving, Susan read that Dan & Jennie were 30 minutes out from the Elks. We learned they had just left Charlie's in Sunset, Ut. They had been there for 18 days, getting work done on their coach. 

We arrive about 30 minutes after they arrived and had setup. What timing. Dinner was inside the lodge, along with good company. 

Saturday was spend doing the tourist thing around town, also in final planning for our jumping out of the US into Canada. We now have the final plan, and will implement it starting on Sunday.
