Tuscarora and heading to Ely, still in Nevada

While we were staying in Elko, we took a drive out to Tuscarora, an almost ghost town, again lots more dirt roads.  On the way we drove through a partially repaired section of road that only a few days earlier had been washed out.   The water was still rushing off the fields and running down one side of the road, before running under a cattle grid and onto the fields opposite, I took this photograph on the way back.

Tuscarora Cemetery was the first thing we came to on our way into town, inside we found the graves of a couple from Oldham, Lancashire who’d come in search of gold.  

Although Tuscarora has a Post Office and is classed as a ghost town it isn’t really as quite a few people appear to live there.   

Leaving Elko on our way to Ely we drove past another Pony Express Station, Schelbourne Station, where there were informational boards and this sculpture among the sage.

We also discovered that we were also driving part of the old coast to coast Lincoln Highway, which stretched from Times Square in New York, to San Francisco in California.


Have fun, we are!
