Thanks for the post! I'm guessing this tip was intended to work on bumpy, unpaved roads. Kinda reminds me of a story from pioneer times found in one of my...
Uhyup. You can do your laundry on the freeway; turns, rough spots, and declerations kind of mix it up a bit. I'm not sure about churning butter, though. ... ...
I am including feral horses (mustangs, broomtails) and burros in the wild animal category. If you go off Hwy 50 there are places where these are among the...
First, the warning. Utah road signs don't differentiate between dairy cattle and range cattle. I found this out in an exciting fashion while roaring down Hwy...

On most ranches all cow ponies are geldings because working hands don't have time to deal with the seasonal foolishness of mares. I used to get laughed at for...
Broomtails vs. cow ponies If you travel in winter you may see the ranch string turned out; the difference between these and broomtails can be seen at a glance....

OK. Where to eat and stay in Ely, NV. I like to eat at the Hotel Nevada downtown. When it opened in 1929 it was the tallest building in Nevada and the first...

Well, I do recommend the Copper Queen; I think it is the best of the newer (post 1929) places to stay in town. It's very well maintained. ... to ... Hotel ... ...
