Made it to Salt Lake City, UT!!! My body is loving this bed.
Got up at 5:30 today to see the sun rise on Rapid City, South Dakota. We grabbed breakfast and headed out on our adventure - we saw the faces of 4 dead presidents on a rock, the U.S.'s first tattoo or what? Whatever in the name of history....
We stopped by a Flintstones Theme Park/Campground! Random as hell, even took pictures in front of a huge statue of Dino. :) It was like a whole little Bedrock right there in the middle of nowhere.
Sarah drove the first 5 or 6 hours, and it was crazy! We got rain AGAIN, and this time it was scary cause driving through Wyoming was mostly two-way highways, so we were getting splashed by all the oncoming 18-wheelers. Right after we passed Casper, WY, Sarah said she got a little paranoid so I told her I'd taker over....and as soon as I started driving...maybe one mile down the road, all of a sudden the sun came out!! The skies literally parted, and we found ourselves driving in the clear, deserted highway of Wyoming. :)
Wyoming was very naked - very little construction except for the huge coal mine. Seeing all the land and the rock formations made me think of what this place must have looked like underwater thousands of years ago....So it trips me out to think of underwater deep-sea diving now and looking at all these coral reef formations, and to imagine that one day there may be a McDonald's posted somewhere in between all of it, once all that dries up. (I really hope this doesn't come true).
Utah so far was welcoming, let's see what the morning says. I want to see this big salt lake...
Tomorrow we have a 12-13 hour drive and if all goes well, we'll be kissing the Cali sky tomorrow night.
Love!!
Clau
