The Eureka County Courthouse. Note the date on it. Much of Nevada had
its development during the mining booms in the late 1800s, and towns,
although small, are by western standards very old.

This is the town's Christmas Tree. We kid you not. It was labeled as such. - Well, there really aren't many pine trees around those parts, you know. We stop for the night in Ely, Nevada. An evening walk around Ely nets more monument sightings.
Pine County Courthouse in Ely. This mural on the Ely phone company building has become historical itself. - Remember Telstar? Remember the Bell System? We saw some interpretive information in an Ely park.
Saturday, June 22, 2013 - - Ely had an old steam engine to pull a tourist train. We did not ride the train. - There's this matter of a highway we wanted to follow. Heading north out of Ely on U.S. 93. The Lincoln Highway will follow this highway - until it gets to the town of Schellbourne, where it will turn east into the desert on a gravel road.
