I considered this an auspicious cloud to leave Boulder under...but maybe I was wrong. I lost my phone and ran out of gas just trying to get out of town on time. Finally made it out 12 hours late at 8 in the evening!
Full moon in clouds, grain elevator, tail lights
Wyoming, obviously.
Tetonka, the wonder truck.
Running from the sunrise.
Passing Sinclair Oil.
Flaring in my nostrils
The sun even shines on Sinclair oil, whether they want to use it for energy or not.
Who in SLC hangs out by dumpsters AND knows Brian Sohn AND knows that he lies? Oh wait, the U and the H are missing...I get it.
The desert begins (again)
Ye olde Salte Lake
???
Christmas tree?
They start posting the mileage to Reno just outside SLC (~500 Miles)
and they remind you every 10 miles!
Almost to the NV border, where casinos and liquor stores are waiting, plus a formation flight it looks like.

Once held glaciers?
Still not quite to Reno, getting dark. My mouth is raw from all the sunflower seeds I ate.
Reno! (Only another 4 hours to Naomi's)
Naomi, my bestest nurse friend, who lives in the East Bay and put me up for a night before I flew to NZed. Can't wait to climb with you when I get back!
