Heading Home Day Two

We got on the road at 7:55 this morning, I took this picture of the Chloride sign when we got out to the highway.
There was lots of rocky scenery between Chloride and Boulder City.

I never did figure out where this water was but it is before we got to the Colorado River.
We are going into Nevada as we go by Hoover Dam.
This is the last picture until we got on the other side of Las Vegas, Vera did not like the traffic there so she concentrated on helping me instead of taking pictures. Going through Las Vegas went pretty good with only a couple of slow downs and we headed up 93 towards Ely.

Google Maps turned us off 93 onto 318 which is a shorter route and the roads were the best we have been on the whole trip.  This picture reminded us of the Palisades on White Pass.
We went down one long straight stretch that had this grass as far as we could see.
We had lunch at the Sunnyside rest stop, then contiued on to Ely.  We decided to keep going North on 93 again.
We ended up stopping at the Schellbourne rest area for the night.
They had a lot of signage about the Pony Express at this rest stop, the one that caught my attention was the warning sign to watch for rattlesnakes when going into the restroom.
It was one of the quieter rest stops we have stayed at, there wasn't much traffic on 93 at night.
