While on the Lonliest Road (yes, it was pretty lonely) on our way to Salt Lake City, we were going to drive by the Great Basin National Park. Never heard of it; but of course, we had to stop. There is a term for us I'd never heard before - "Parkies". It is the 9th least visited national park in the country; but what a treasure. A scenic 12 mile drive straight up Wheeler Peak to 13,000 feet, a nice hike, and a 90 minute tour in Lehmann's Cave.
Comments from Eldon: My favorite thing on the Lonliest Road was the Fed-Ex truck we saw going the opposite direction - that would make him the lonliest Fed-Ex driver. Great Basin NP was extremely pretty with the aspens just starting to change color to yellow. Lehmann Cave is only the 2nd cave I've ever been in - far superior to the Wind Cave in South Dakota. Remarkable formations as you can see in the picture.
Comments from Harry: It's been cold and windy. Very windy. Too windy to go outside.
