Day 49 - June 27
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARI & RICK!
Todays trudge was from Grand Junction, CO to West Wendover, NV. First let me say that after having traversed the great state of Utah I can't for the life of me see what Joseph Smith (or was it Brigham Young?) saw in this territory and why on earth they would have decided to settle here.
We did get to see the Morton Salt Plant with its big picture of Leslie on the building and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Jon, someone needs to sue the State of Utah to get Carl Heap's name added to the list of record setters on the historical marker.Oh yes, and to top it all off, it was a beautiful balmy day! The top number is the inside temperature and the middle number is the outside temperature.
And for those of you that want to know what the blogging office looks like here is your peak!

Been to Golden. Did you go to the railroad museum next to Coors? It's really worth seeing. I have been all through that country. Neat stuff.
I have seen the mines between Denver and the top of the pass. Wanted to explore them all. there are a lot of record holders at the Salt Flats but you are right. Carl was very special and would love to see his name engraved among the great racers.

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Had Rick and Debbie, and our crowd up for pizza Saturday evening. It was Ricks birthday and he got macadamia nuts from us. Tradition you know. We were treated to a world class thunder and lighting show. Got pounded with rain for about 30 minutes. Ain't no fires around us. Smoky though.
Before you head home check with Caltrans and make sure that there isn't any fires between Susanville and I-5.
Buck can't wait for your dogs to come home. ------- Oh yeah. It will be nice to have you home too.
