Getting there!

A sub-zero start to the day! We left Casper WY heading towards Salt Lake City UT. The first 120 miles were on the back roads (with a 70MPH limit and no traffic!). Again there was very little in the way of civilisation, but the scenery was quite rugged and interesting. We climbed up to around 7500 ft, into cloud and more snow. Luckily the temperature is not cold enough to allow the snow to settle on the road surface.

We picked up the I-80 and headed west into UT. There were a lot of interesting rock formations along the Interstate which gave us something new to look at.

The temperature was bouncing all over the place, from -2°C – +9°C. We slowly started our descent into Salt Lake City, and we got to a balmy 11°C! After a slight disagreement with the GPS we managed to find our motel! As usual we headed out for a walk and a spot of geocaching, 1.6 miles and 2 caches. Two more full days of driving and we should be in California.
