The last long haul …

Today we’re cruising 439 miles from Salt Lake City to Cheyenne, NV.  It’s our last big drive … passing through the Rockies again.
When I get to this point in a road trip, with the end in sight, I start having thoughts of quitting my job, getting the Airstream and exploring our great, yet slightly fucked [...]

Night Shots: Salt Lake City from a Bird’s Eye View

Sure, I was lazy last night. I shot from the balcony of my hotel. But, I think I made the right choice. SLC isn’t very photogenic up close, so I backed it off. One pano of downtown and a few shots of isolated moments in the night.

We went to Squatter’s Brewpub first, and although some of the [...]

The Desert, the Mountains, Salt and the Road

Zoo found another winner today. After discovering we had 35 miles of construction between us and Salt Lake City, he chose a road north that connected with the arm of the salt flats we wanted to hit.
Below are images from just before we left paved road, to an unmapped (by Google) dirt road, Nevada to [...]

Juxtaposition

I’m sure there are two destinations within a few hundred miles that are more different than Elko, Nevada and Salt Lake City, but I’m hard pressed to think of another so polarized pair.
Elko: Whores, 24-hour access to alcohol and gambling, all-you-can-eat steakhouses.SLC: Mormans, 24-hour access to group prayer, and all-you-can-marry churches.
We’ll give you some [...]
