Snow-Covered

Nevada is Spanish for snow-covered. Today we saw the snow up close and personal. After packing and straightening, we took Debby to the MOA to see the Sacred-Gifts exhibit. The paintings are lovely; I especially like the work of Frans Schwartz. His paintings are looser and more modern in spirit than the other two artists (who are wonderful in their own right). We stopped in SLC for lunch at the Blue Lemon before dropping Debby at the airport. We just kept right on going west on I-80 to Elko. We arrived fairly early with time for a trip to the Ruby Mountains. They are beautiful! We returned to Elko where we picked up some take-away for supper with Rob who was kind enough to let us stay with him at the practice's Elko house.

When you see Pilot Peak, you know you are in Nevada

 

At Wells, you get your first glimpse of the

Reasonably good food with our genial host

The trip to the snow-covered mountains was inspiring and spending a bit of time with Rob was great. Tomorrow we continue west to Reno. 

That's all for now.
