Hey, did you know that they have casinos in Nevada? Left Nebraska yesterday with all intentions of staying in Salt Lake City. However, we wanted to get on the west side of SLC so that we wouldn't have to fight the morning rush hour. All the hotels we checked out near the airport were booked solid, so we opted to travel on for another 100 miles and stay in W. Wendover at one of the Peppermill properties. On the next to longest day of the year, we traveled the longest time.
Good day yesterday. Snowflake hit zero oil life just east of Cheyenne, so we thought it might be a good idea to get her oiled and lubed. Luckily, we found a GM dealer who had an express rack and we were in and out in less than an hour. She even got washed! While we were waiting, we looked at the Buicks and Cadillacs - boy, does Snowflake really look good to us.
Immediately outside of Cheyenne, we hit the first major back-up of our trip. There was a roll-over accident on I-80 and they had the interstate closed down. Took longer to go those ten miles than it did for the work on the car. Just glad it wasn't us. Another day of sunshine and beautiful weather, although a little humid (who says we can't find something to complain about. Wyoming is so beautiful with vast expanses and wide open spaces, then into Utah and through the ski area around Park City. When you come down the mountain, the Great Salt Lake and SLC just spread out in front of you. Awesome.
Right now, we are as far to the east of Reno as we can get and still be in the state - about 400 miles to go today, but then we'll be home (what a strange word!)
