More interesting terrain, lots of sage brush, rocks, but as we got further along then also more sand, which in some places created these whirlwinds ... is that what's called dirt devils?
It was highway I80 and there were actual billboards, exits to towns, occasional houses, and lots of other traffic. Literally, yesterday, the kids would occasionally exclaim "look, a car!" as if it was something we should take a picture of! We also joked about warning oncoming traffic not to go that way if we could!
After Wendover, there were stretches of salt covered sand, that looked like frozen lakes. It was really white as snow, really interesting!
We had finished the Harry Potter book somewhere in Oregon, and the boys wished I had checked out the next book in that series. Instead I thought they might want something different, so I had chosen a couple of last year's Young Hoosier books. They were reluctant, but we started to listen to a story called "Navigating Early". It was not nearly as good as Harry Potter, but entertaining.
Despite our exhaustion, we made it to Salt Lake City. We found a campsite that Joel and Angela had stayed at on their trip back in 2011 thanks to their blog, Cherry Hill Resort, with full hook-ups, showers, etc. Luxury!! I cooked Essenhaus noodles with green pesto sauce, cabbage salad from a bag, and fruit cocktail from a can; it was a good supper! Then we all went to bed pretty early.
