we just finished our first day

i'm gonna let kari tell you about the ride. i'm gonna try and catch everyone up with the rest of the way here.

we started from Rawlins, WY about 9...our usual time and headed for Utah. it was pretty boring, very flat and barren... worse than western Kansas. we did see some cool windmill farms in the western part of the state and that's where we almost got blown off the road. the crosswinds are so strong they got the trailer going sideways behind us and poor kari was driving and had trouble getting it back under control. i thought we were gonna roll for sure and just prayed. well she got it stopped but the adrenaline after rush was quite large!!! it seems we were destined for 1 mishap a day and i said "that's it, and it's early so were done and now we can relax."

Utah in the north from wyoming to salt lake is spectacular!!! we have so many pictures from there. here are a few.

we waded into the Great Salt Lake and got our feet and legs very salty. here's a few from there.

on the way out of Utah we hit the Bonneville Salt Flats.... no racing for us. we could barely do 10 miles below the speed limit.

nevada was pretty and plain and there's gambling EVERYWHERE!!!!!

the road to CA was windy and nerve wracking for me but i wasn't driving....can't stand to be out of control. :)

we're here, and we're safe and we're having a blast. catch you later.
