Geo: 40.7595, -111.888We had a beautiful leisurely drive from East Canyon to Salt Lake City. It took about 1-1/2 hours, but it was a less "puckered" drive than yesterday.We arrived in Salt Lake City around 9:30 am, went to the hotel, the room was already available, and they let us park the RV in the alley right behind the hotel. And, the door to the alley opens right into the hotel lobby. Excellent!The hotel is literally across the street from Temple Square, the home of the Mormon/Later-Day Saints church. We toured the grounds, and then walked to the "artsy" restaurant area.Just picked up Sean and Sarah at the airport. Gonna hit a bar and then hit the beds.... read more

Geo: 40.6432, -111.494It was only an 88 mile drive from the Great Salt Lake to Park City, home of the 2002 Olympics and the annual Sundance Film Festival. We did have to drive up some steep stretches of interstate, but the RV kept chugging along.Park City is a really cool town and we are staying in a hotel right along Main Street. There are a bunch of shops, bars, restaurants, and museums. We had a great time!... read more

Geo: 40.9881, -109.722We left the Elk Mountain Hotel this morning and continued west on I-80 for about 180 miles. The wind was kicking up again across the vast nothingness of flatlands. It was pretty intense trying to judge the gusts while they were pushing around our little RV.Once we left the interstate in Green River, WY, we went about 50 miles south on a scenic road that winded up and around the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area that splits Wyoming and Utah.We pulled into the Lucerne Valley Campground and set up on the bank of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir around lunchtime.Sheila is out for her second run of the day. We will hang out here until tomorrow, then off to Salt Lake City and/or the Great Salt Lake.... read more

Geo: 41.6875, -106.413We left Ogallala, Nebraska this morning around 6:30 am and drove the scenic route around Lake McConaughy. We heard on the radio that they measured winds yesterday at 71 mph where we were...that was breezy.Once we got to the west side of Nebraska, we finally reached some interesting landscape. We went by Chimney Rocks and Scott's Bluff today. And, then we made it into Wyoming. We drove through Cheyenne and was not too impressed, so we went on to Laramie. We went to the "History of Prisons in Wyoming" museum in Laramie, which was surprisingly interesting, but the town was not impressive. So, we kept driving.We ended up at a Bed and Breakfast in Elk Mountain, WY....about 350 miles for the day. (We could not find any campgrounds for another 50 miles.) We had ... read more

Geo: 40.8136, -96.7077After a 4 hour drive from Missouri, through the southwest corner of Iowa, and into Nebraska, we arrived at Lincoln. We found a campground about 3 miles from campus, and checked in. We then drove back to campus and walked around. It was a large campus with all of the academic buildings co-located, and the football stadium right on the edge of campus.There is a cool area right off campus called Haymarket District with plenty of restaurants and bars. That is where we had lunch before heading back to the campground.We rode our bikes to a local sports bar for dinner and to watch UVA in the baseball championships, and the NBA Western ... read more
