Well now that we were done with the "Great" Salt Lake and recovering from Pete's allergic reaction. We were now officially off to Nevada. Along the way, we could not help put notice the super cool Salt Flats. Per Wikipedia, The Bonneville Salt Flats are a 159 square mile (412 km²)[1] salt flat in northwestern Utah. The depth of the salt has been recorded at 6 feet (1.8 m) in many areas. It is the largest of many salt flats located west of the Great Salt Lake. Each rainfall erases tire marks and flattens the densely-packed salt pan that is inhospitable to plants. The area is extremely flat and aligned nearly perfectly with the shape of Earth. You may be aware of the speed racing that goes on here.
It is really cool because it looks like a blanket of snow in the desert. Of course we stop to check this out. See pics.
The restroom attendant makes you wash off your shoes before use the restrooms so we oblige, do our business and get on the road again.
