As we motored across Highway 50 from Fernley to Ely, we THOUGHT we were in for a long, B-O-R-I-N-G drive across "The World's Loneliest Highway", but we were dazzled all across the state of Nevada by the rocks - all kinds of shapes and sizes! They were like a huge, rumpled table cloth that had been pushed up into folds. The layers of rocks, once flat and buried, are now exposed and at angles pointing skyward - evidence of some past geologic activity of epic proportions! .
