I left Yellowstone having ridden 3,307 miles on this trip. I crossed the Continental Divide and headed into Idaho. Idaho is not just potatoes. I didn't stop there except for maybe gas but it seemed like a beautiful state. Potato farms, mountains and then it looked more like a desert as you head into Utah.
Potato farm and truck.
I stopped and had lunch in a roadside place on a reservation. Good food but a "greasy spoon" for sure!
As I approached Salt Lake City I couldn't believed what looked like dense smog. It made LA look like the fresh air in Lake Placid. However as I got more into it I noticed it was a sand storm. Wild how it was blowing up and virtually obscuring the view of the mountains.
Then it cleared up again as I rode out of it.
I was pretty road weary having been on the road for over 3,600 miles in the past 2 weeks. So I hung out there for a couple days with my friend Dash in Salt Lake City. Dash is the owner of Parallel HR Solutions, Inc. A human Resource and staffing company. http://www.parallelhr.com/ But I thought he could be mayor (if it weren't for his liberal positions...lol), because everywhere we went, day or night, he knew people.

There is a great farmers market there on weekend where people sell all kinds of cool things and many of them homemade. I tasted the best pancakes and syrup I ever had in my life.
Then I headed through Nevada toward Reno.
Bonneville Salt Flats, the site of World Land-Speed Record Runs. Can you believe all this salt??? Crazy! This is also the area where the first transcontinental telephone line was completed.
