Day 2: Laramie to Reno


This was a huge wind farm we saw in western Wyoming. We thought it was neat. Far more interesting than anything in Illinois, Iowa, or Nebraska, that's for sure.

Wyoming in general was very interesting. Certainly we're not used to space that is that wide open, and where you can see all of it because of your elevation.

Utah was also very pretty. We were pretty impressed with just the variations in topography and the starkness of the surroundings and terrain. Definitely a big difference from both the city and the deciduous-heavy Midwest.

My brother demanded a picture of the Bonneville salt flats. If you can't read the plaque (which was erected by Goodyear), the Measured Mile is about 7 miles straight ahead.

Because I'm such a good brother, I got him two pictures.

  1. I like how the road is perfectly straight for almost 50 miles through the salt flats. If there is ever a place to test your alignment ... this is it!
