Short Trip Report

So it's about 7PM PST. I ended up driving the whole way yesterday. Came in at 1000 miles 16 hours and cost about $65 in gas. The grand finale after 940 miles and good weather was the trek over Carson Pass on CA 88. It was nasty and actually dangerous. I hate this road and it seems to go on forever. Even though it was dangerous and snowing and blowing like a sonofabitch the scaredy's go so slow you can blow right past them generally without slowing down.

So this morning and we are at 4000ft there was about 5" of snow and it did it most of the day. The electricity went off at 7AM and came back on just a bit ago at 6PM or else this would have been up before.

No to what I really want to get at. There is never any traffic when you drive west on 40 to Salt Lake that's just the way it is. Driving west on I80 from the capitol of the Mormony's there just weren't many vehicles on the road. It was like it was empty. I passed only a few vehicles and only a couple passed me in something like 400 miles. In the stores along the interstate the parking lots were also empty for the most part-at least that's what it looked like to me. The 90 mile stretch from I80 south to highway 50 I met maybe a half dozen cars is all. Took a few pictures but never saw much in all that way that caught my interest. The one one the top was in Colorado just before the sun came up. Going somewhere tomorrow but don't know where.

When is it going to be nice enough so I can get my shorts on? Leaving Wednesdy morning for Santa Barbara driving along the coast highway.
