I'll have to watch for him.  Who knows, 4.5 hr drive out in that part of the country is just a nice test run!   :cheers:

I'm running I-40 through Ok City then up to Denver, through Walsh, CO where grandpa is so I can drop off the 59 Buick.  then up to I-80 at Cheyenne and over to Elko.  Certainly a round about way to get there!

Let me know if you make it to the big city of Reno.  I'm always looking for somebody to go to Great basin with!!!

In this part of the country 4.5 hours is just a warm up drive.

March 3-10 time frame :up:

dunno my schedule as I'm usually running around being Mr. Fix-it when test equipment displays go down, vendors and their issues, and someone looses internet access. We are also looking into doing more. . .which means more issues. I was able to sneak away last year so we'll see.

yea, many of us were hoping on going back to the SL, but the IP in Biloxi made us a deal we couldnt refuse.

When you are in Elko make sure you try some Basque food.  Stockmans and the Comercial both have good Basque menus.  Make sure you try Chorizo, not mexico chorizo but Basque chorizo.  Great stuff, but mix it with beer and  :fart: :fart:

I lived/worked in Jordan Valley, OR for about 6-7 yrs so I know what you mean   :fart:  It has been about 10 years since I had a good Basque chorizo with cold beer   :cheers:  I have been told that the best Basque food in Elko is the Star!  Been here 2 whole days and have yet to visit.  First day on the job (10 hrs) so I'm tired and will settle for 2 frozen buritos and several cold Weinhard's Private Reserve.  I've got 90 days so I'm not in a hurry.
