We left Winnemucca this morning and tonight we're settled in Moab. We are at the gateway to the Arches National Park -- which we'll hit first thing in the morning.
Much better internet connection this time.
We stopped at the Great Salt Lake. (That's us in the Lake...!) It was quite the experience... It was super salty -- as you would expect, but so much so that our shoes and clothes are showing salt stains. It was slimy to walk out on the exposed bed to the water -- and there were trillions of little gnats trying to fly in your mouth and up your nose. Some were successful. The water was really warm and shallow. We took pictures of people 2 or 3 city blocks out into the lake and they were only to their knees. I'm really gald we went into the lake -- but once is enough for me! About 30 miles down the road Liz and I were still wondering what smelled funny... There is a HUGE bird colony just up wind of the lake and the stench was memorable and lasting.
The scenery when we left Provo was spectacular! If you have never been to Utah, make a plan to visit! Highway 6 from Provo to Green River is the route we took and it was beautiful the entire way. (The photo from the road is of the Rhone Cliffs between Price and Green River. It was stunning and this picture was about 35 miles away from the actual cliff.)

Thanks for the beautiful photos, Liz. I am sitting here at my desk this morning thinking how nice it would be to have nats up my nose?!
Enjoy!
