Spring Canyon

It was another chilly Nevada morning. We shared a cup of lousy hotel coffee, but it was coffee albeit not delicious. We packed our bags and headed out the door. We left our bags in the truck and then walked several blocks and bought several good cups of coffee at nice little coffee shop before heading out.

The route was simple; get on I-80 and head east. We were soon out of Reno and headed through some mountain climbs and then found ourselves in relatively flat terrain for the rest of the day. We passed rugged hills, then grasslands, and more hills in the distance. Eventually we saw cattle grazing in the hills.

We are currently west of Salt Lake City and will arrive there tomorrow and will spend several days with my niece.

We had our first rain on this trip. It never rained long, sometimes hard, sometimes barely a sprinkle, and then sunshine. The temperature climbed to 68 degrees and then dropped to 42 and then back up. There was a fairly strong crosswind most of the day. Welcome to the Wild, Wild West.

Interstate travel is boring as reflected in this entry.Read more
