PV4W Ely Run – Day 1

By Denis & Sandi Inman

There was a good mixture of vehicles at the 9:00 AM Monday driver’s meeting. We had 4 Jeep Wranglers carrying Sandi & I, Gary & Nancy, Ed & Janet and Clark. Mike & Patti have a Jeep Gladiator, Paul & Doris were in their Jeep Grand Cherokee and expertly leading the group today were James & Helen in their Toyota 4Runner. Many thanks to them. Sandi was our guest photographer and I think she did a wonderful job giving us a different perspective.

From the Love’s Travel Center in Ely, we headed up the 93 through McGill and continued to Monte Neva Road where we aired down. After that, we continued West through beautiful Log Canyon and crossed the range down to Egan Canyon Road. The group of explorers stopped to investigate the cemetery near the old Egan town site before backtracking a short distance to have lunch in the bottom of a rock quarry.

When our lunch was completed, we drove East out Egan Canyon and aired back up at the village of Cherry Creek. It was a great run and I think I can speak for the others when I say, we’re looking forward to tomorrow’s trail ride.
