Hi there everyone,
We have set out on our annual vacation, this year, we are headed out to the Zion/Bryce Canyon area of Utah. This trip is to a new place that neither of us have been too before. As part of the trip, we wanted to take a route we had never been on before. So, we took US 50 from Rancho Cordova east through Carson City to Fallon Nevada when I got off work on Friday night. We made it as far as Fallon Nevada for the night. We had dinner at 'The Steakhouse' inside a casino called Stockmans. Our expectations were for a sub par meal, but we were very surprised. Carol had a wonderful chicken meal and my prime rib was the best that I have had in maybe 7 years. After dinner, we boon docked at a Walmart in Fallon.
On Saturday, before we headed off, we went into Walmart to do some shopping. We found the local dog adoption group, had set up a Kissing booth where you get a wet kiss from a dog after donating a dollar. It was a very cool set up, one that could be very productive for their fund raising efforts we are sure. Next, we continued east on US 50 through Austin and Ely Nevada. We found US 50 to be a beautiful route. It is very windy at times and had a number of steep grades to deal with, but as long as I kept an eye on the gauges, the Alegro bus did a wonderful job of handling the roads. US 50 is also known as the Lincoln Highway, we were so glad to be able to find one of the markers in Ely Nevada. Saturday night, we had dinner in Delta Utah at a little pizza place. Funny though, we didn't have pizza though. Carol had a tostada salad and I had a mushroom, onion, swiss burger. Both were excellent. After dinner, we had too long a run to Glendale, so we decided to spend the night at a KOA in Fillmore Utah. This was a great little KOA to spend the night. They are new owners and were very friendly and helpful.
On Sunday, we finished our run into Glendale Utah where we will stay at the Baurer Canyon Ranch RV park. This is a great little rustic location that is part of the Baurer Family ranch of 1500 acres. For lunch, we went to the Thunderbird Diner which was just 10 miles south of Glendale. Utah being what it is, many establishments in Utah roll up their doors on a Sunday. But we are glad that we got to have lunch at this place. The food was great. We are 3 for three on our meals so far.
We've got four full days here in the Zion/Bryce canyon area and a lot to see, but so far, we have a great start to the trip.
Happy camping! Eric and Carol!

Looking forward to hearing about your visit. We haven't made it to Bryce yet and when we went to Zion we got snowed out. It's a definite must for us.
