The title pretty much says it. On this next but last day of
this year’s trip we went from just outside Salt Lake City to Winnemucca, Nevada
with a couple of stops for the salt flats and in particular Bonneville.
The day was gorgeous and the only disappointment was the
fact that a rainstorm the week before hadleft the flats too wet to be driven over. Otherwise
Sharon would have gotten to sit out a few minutes while I took the car over 130
for the first time. But, alas, it was not to be.
We did have a nice visit with a BLM “ranger” about the
ecology of the flats.

| The last time we drove this portion of road there was all kinds of art across the flats. Only this one remains. |

| Someone just couldn't resist |
 |
| But for the standing water, you do not usually get this view |
 |
| The car was ready, I was ready, the salt less so |
And later, after we crossed to Nevada, I was able to stop
and get some nice shots of the mountains.

| This mare was curious about what I was doing and the shutter noise |
Saturday took us up to and over the Sierras and home.
