You can also stop and see the salt flats on your way too.

Bring Tequila and lemon if you do stop by.

I really enjoyed the trip into Salt Lake City. You're in for a scenic drive. You can also stop and see the salt flats on your way too.   :joy:

Came in by way of Provo Canyon. That is one amazing drive. Utah has seriously got some of the best stretches of road to drive on in the USA.

Now it's time to clean the bugs off the windshield and do some city driving until Monday next week, when we head on to Grand Junction, CO. That drive will include a detour to Moab so we can drive the Colorado River road from there to Grand Junction and then the excellent drive through Colorado National Monument.
Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.

I worked in Grand Junction, CO a long time ago in my early Desktop/Networking support days.  I worked my ass off at a job site for 4 days there doing desktop/routing/switching upgrades so I could take off in the rental car and drive from there to Montrose, Ouray, and finally Telluride.  I was going to do just a 1/2 day of skiing at Telluride but it ended up taking a long longer to get there than I expected by car and it was more expensive that I had thought to ski for 1/2 day.  I walked around and ate and really enjoyed the view.  Some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen, especially the mesa and canyons in the Colorado National Monument.  I really contemplated moving to Colorado in my younger days.

Of note, apparently Ralph Lauren has a ranch on the way to Telluride (I think it might be the Double RL Ranch).  On my way to Telluride I was passed by a Bugatti Veyron with a license plate of RL.  I saw years later that Ralph Lauren has quite an extensive array of collector cars.  I always wondered if that was him driving it that day.

In Amarillo now... US 50 in Colorado is an AMAZING drive. Best along the rivers - I nearly cooked my brakes coming down from Monarch Pass, elevation 11,312.

Home again tomorrow afternoon and PTO "recovery days" on Thursday and Friday. Yay!

Did you get to see the EPA spill in the Animas River.

Did not see the big EPA spill.

Just had Tex-Mex for supper. Oh man, I'm home.
