Eastward bound on Interstate 80 -- nothing especially interesting beyond recognizing uninteresting names and landmarks from previous trips. The last of the casinos fell behind as I crossed the final ridge before descending onto the Bonneville salt flats.
Posting photos has turned difficult thanks to a number of equipment problems that will need some attention when I return to Round Hill.
Tomorrow ends in Wyoming, where I hope to visit Fort Laramie of Oregon Trail fame. Bounding across this area at the posted speed limit in air conditioned discomfort leaves me amazed that any of the early settlers survived their westward migration.
Posting for Laurie Johnson -- What I wanted to say was regarding Winnemucca, NV: On one of Mom and Dad's excursions, they went through Winnemucca. Mom sent me a postcard from there that had the phrase Winnemucca! City of Paved Streets! blazoned across an artistic representation of a highway. Loved it. Think I still have it somewhere. And the Ion's air conditioner is not working? That's what your comment about commiserating with the early pioneers referred to, correct?
ReplyDeleteClarifying, Laurie, the Ion's AC is working well but was still challenged by the midday heat out on the flats. Props to all the settlers who slowly made their way into the West, nary a GPS or ice chest among them.
