It was going to be hot morning. Temperature from weather channel said it was 100 degrees. I wet down the sedici and it actually feels kinda cold. I got ready in 15 min. Packing everyday, my bag gets smaller and smaller. Hahaha, I wonder if I'm losing cloth. It would seem I'm becoming a better packer. Out goal today is to hit the salt flats. It was quite a lot of miles on the interstate. The holiday inn we found that was just spectacular. The landscape changes often. It was actually rather pleasant ride in the heat. We also made a pit stop at post office. We made it to the visitor center for a cool off.

Just 50 some miles from the flats. One of the only gas station stop. We were running rather close to empty. When we got to the salt flats... We found it

Under water...... Me standing in the water. Rather disappointed. 

We got to a days inn soon after. 

It was right by the Nevada border. Where the line ends in Utah, the casino began. There was no food what so ever, except the casino. We had to eat in the casino, which turn out to be quite the unpleasant experience. 

For the past three days, I've been passing out right when we return to the hotel. I would talk to Yermo mid sentence while he cycle through the photo on his laptop, and next thing I know it is the next morning. 

The rhythm has set in. I still wake up each day wondering if I'm going to want to turn around and go home. But each day I get up, eat and got ready. The only thing I want to do, is to see where the road will take me.
