We've been trying to keep our bodies on the Eastern timezone schedule. We were up at 3a and out the door at 4a. We had been on the road for a couple of hours before the sun caught up with us over western Wyoming.
I've concluded that Southwestern Wyoming would be the absolutely worst place to be stranded. The temps were in the high 30's in the early morning hours and there isn't a soul for dozens of miles.
Todays highlights included the Rocky Mountains, Wendover Will, and the Bonneville International Raceway. Keep a close eye on the sign during this video. It'll blow your mind.
We've been on the same road (I-80) for some 1,200 miles and will ride this puppy all the way into SF. The portion through the Bonneville Salt Flats is the longest and straightest portion of road that I've ever driven. It's decieving because the mountains along the Nevada border look like they're only a few miles away. For nearly 100 miles, I repeatedly told Ali that we should be in Nevada in just a few minutes.
