Another driving day
Today we drove from Winnemucca, Nevada to Salt Lake City, Utah. It's pretty much nothing but desert the whole way with a few hills in between. The girls marveled at the fact that there were very few cars on the road - just lots of trucks. After they mentioned it, I was surprised to notice they were right. :)
Our lunch stop was much better than yesterday. We stopped in West Wendover, which is the last town before leaving Nevada for Utah. It's chock full with casinos for that last second chance to blow all your money before you leave the state. We, however, found a great little park that was perfect. Big parking slots for RVs like at a rest area, a playground that Kate called "the best ever" and picnic tables in the shade of big trees that made it ideal. It was about 85 degrees, which was very comfortable in the shade with a strong breeze.
We arrived in Salt Lake City at 4:45 and are in an RV park (again). The kids headed for the playground and then the pool. After swimming, we barbequed some chicken and had a late dinner. Tomorrow we plan to explore Salt Lake City.
