Day 5

We came to a stop in Salt Lake City, Utah.  I couldn't figure out why we didn't have any water pressure the next morning.  Then I realized the water hose had frozen.   Pretty cool views from the campground, though.

I did mention the 40 mph head winds yesterday, didn't I?  They were still there...

Woke up to a little snow and a chill - but otherwise ok.  Except that I thought I was going to throw up all night.  The flu bug had its second victim.

Coming around the bend to the big "Salt Lake".

Salt taste a little funny lately?  80% of the countries salt comes from here.  We saw dump trucks and bull dozers driving over the salt piles.

Heading across the great salt plains.  The second set of amazing mountains were still two hours away at this point.

Two questions:  What the heck is this, and why is it out in the middle of the salt flats???  It was huge and one of the spheres had fallen off.   Oh well...

Just to prove I was there.  Today the salt flats were pretty much a two inch deep salt lake.  It was pretty wet out there.
