Day 4 Capital Reef NP to Great Basin NP

Capital Reef to Great Basin


Left for Great Basin NP. US 50 from I-15 to Great Basin NP was some of the most remote highway we have traveled. Snow and sleet about 7500 ft elevation was common and the road was deserted. We arrived at Whispering Elms Campground, Motel, Bar and dropped the camper before heading to Visitor's Center. Weather was crummy – rain, sleet and snow. Had coffee and pie (not bad) at cafe at Visitor's Center before heading back to Whispering Elms. Camped at space 9-10 and had a margarita with Chuck and entourage at the bar before dinner @c campsite. Decent night sleep, but a lot of rain all night. The feature of Great Basin is the remoteness and the dark night skies - rain and clouds kept us from viewing the stars and Milky Way.   Left early and headed to Desert Rose RV Park in Fernley, NV.

Photos to follow when we get a decent internet connection
