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
.
