Entering Utah and the Salt Flats

Today I  worked out how to use the cruise control and what a difference it made, just set it at 80mph and cruise. I expected to see a sign of some kind between Navada and Utah, but there was none. Anti climax!
We called into West Wendover for fuel and then out onto the Bonneville Salt Flats.



It was cool to be in the place that Burt set his record.


The salt flats cover an area of 44,000 acres.

 I'm sure that fans of the movie "Cars" will recognise the Dinoco symbol.


Later we stopped for fuel at a truck stop, parked in the shade and the temperature was 100 degrees F.

 We noticed the salt build up under the bike and it is as hard as rock, it will need a wash tomorrow.
Our destination for the night is Salt Lake City, we had a refreshing swim in the pool while doing the washing.
As we were heading out for dinner, Vicki got excited when I  said "After dinner I will bring her back and make her feel like a woman"
She was disappointed though we I told her to fold the washing. lol lol

  1. Do they not have washing machines over there or was it just easier to chuck ya clothes in the pool with an epileptic
