Wyoming & Utah


October 14-15, 2016 – Days 54-55
Wyoming –Utah

The views were stunning today, scenery was ever evolving from prairies of Colorado to rolling hills with rocky out-cropping’s of Wyoming.  There were miles of snow fences, and long, long, long freight trains, Karen tried counting the cars, loosing count after 82, when the tracks went behind the bluff – had to be at least 200+ cars, 4 engines at the beginning and one in the rear.  I-80 Highway has been quite smooth, but the gusty winds made the driving a challenge for Mike most of the afternoon.

Our next day found us westward bound out of Wyoming. WOW!  Looks like a set from a western movie -- the cowboys should be coming over the sandstone bluffs at any moment. Miles and miles of this amazing scenery, how lucky are we?  Utah is next on our itinerary – I-80 went through Salt Lake City, we drove on to Antelope Island on the Great Salt Lake. From our campsite we had a great view of the lake, the Wasatch Mountains and many bison.  We camped there for the night; our nearest neighbors were some of the Island’s bison. We watched the sunset and enjoyed a campfire. Real camping for a change.
