Wrknrvr Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Can you believe it. Drove long hours to get out of Missoula Mt. Stopped in Ely Navada and decided to rest on Sunday. High winds all day although sporadic. So decided not to travel today. Did not see any other RVs traveling by either. Now there is a two-tone yeollow and white truck sitting next to us. The white is gaining thickness as I am writing this post. Yes it is my fault for resting on Sunday, but sometimes you need some rest. Building snowmen tomorrow. Maybe even a snow women. If we can get out of here we may go to the Pheonix nascar race. Jeff would not by snow chains so here we sit. No I will not drive the RV in snow either unless absolutely nessisaory. Will report in the am. Safe Travels. Vern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallow Draft Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ely is a good place to be. They have an interesting Steam train there..

Exile Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think that white stuff is a special uv blocker applied sporadically up north to keep the paint from fading. If not applied properly, it can cause difficulties seeing out and will blow off in the wind. 98 379 with 12.7 DD LG Dodge w/5.9 CTD Chrome habit I’m trying to kick.

Wrknrvr Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 It is now daylight in Ely Nevada . The fresh white stuff thickened up over night. Looks like 14" or more. It was suppose to be 1"to 4" . Last night when we returned to the RV there was maybe 4". As for the steam train they apparently still have water in atleast one boiler There was a faint suffer smell from the fire being banked off for the night to keep things from freezing for the evening. Several years ago we did ride the train on Mother's Day. The have real large original train complex that is original. Late last night there was a weather alert for 1' to3' in the mountains. And no snow shovel Safe Travels, Vern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawdog Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Holy you-know-what! Those weather guys never get the snowfall right -- if they say 6", they really mean "between 1 & 20 inches." Looks like they erred on the low side. Get back on in that hot tub; I'm not sure you'll be going anywhere for another day or two. On the bright side, you're getting some well-deserved downtime from your busy work schedule. I'm sure you're wishing you were somewhere a bit warmer, though! Stay safe...

LindaH Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hey, we're stuck in Ely, too! Drove down from Jackpot yesterday and debated whether to spend the night here or make it over the pass down to Lund. Obviously, we made the wrong choice! Will probably not try to leave until tomorrow. LindaH 2014 Winnebago Aspect 27K 2011 Kia Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Cochran Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 We got here to PIR in the general RV area yesterday. It is windy here today and supposed to be less windy tomorrow. Forecast rain showers Saturday night to Sunday morning. If just showers should be good to go for Sundays race. 2019 Thor Chateau 28E on a Ford E450 chassis.

LindaH Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 We are also at the Prospectors RV Park. Currently in Space 4, but may be moving to another site since the sewer drain at this site is higher than where the hose comes out of the RV (but, from the looks of it, most of them are that way). We've spent the morning scraping off all the snow from the places that we can reach from the ground or a ladder, both on the car and the RV. Apparently, US-6 over Murry Summit down to the junction with NV-318 is clear, but I think we're still going to wait it out another day.

LindaH Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 We left Ely this early morning and are now in our favorite boondocking spot near Henderson, NV. It's 64 degrees and sunny here!
