The Ride… No Details Today
I’m sitting on the slowest internet connection known to man here in Winnemucca, Nevada, so my normal routine of recapping yesterday and linking to our Instagram photos just isn’t going to happen. I can’t even switch to tethering 3G off the iPhone as the only connection here is on Edge. I’ll have to do a last-two-days recap tomorrow, when we’ve settled into our temporary digs in Oregon. I will, however, share one lovely photo from yesterday.
Bonneville Salt Flats
As we drove west through the never-ending flats, we stopped a few times for sunny photos, but it was when we reversed direction and drove the three mile runway towards the International Speedway that a storm we’d left behind suddenly faced us down and rushed in with a temper.
Incredible white sand and distant mountains shrouded in angry clouds made for a striking vista.

Today is our last day on the road! From here in Winnemucca, we get off the Interstate again and head through a series of smaller roads leading to Southern Oregon. It’s been a great journey, but it’ll be good to rest again.

The salt flats is the place where the highest land speed record was made with a car that has two big jet engines!!!
