August 22, 2005 - Salt of the Earth
I like Motel 6’s because they post their rate for that night on their signs. I feel like they are bidding for my business and since I had no clue what the other places charge, Motel 6 was the winner. Anyway, they left the light on for me.
I headed out of Salt Lake City. The President was in town but I decided not to stick around to say hi. Instead, I headed out on I-80 for California. It’s kinda strange to be back on I-80 after taking my little detour down through I-70 in Colorado. The I-80 over here sure does look different compared to Iowa. It’s still pretty boring after a while though. So, what’s one to do…I guess a self-portrait.

I did stop at one of the salt flats. Now, that was pretty neat. I was tempted to lick the ground but figured I would be too thirsty afterwards.
I did cross another time zone and got a bonus hour. How will I spend it? I’m having a nice latte right now. In reality, I only have this hour on credit since I will have to pay it back later as I drive East. Oh well…this whole trip is on credit anyway.

hey fu, that shot of delicate arch and you in the salt flats are really great pictures. i still think you should have licked the ground, no matter how thirsty you'd be. not too many people can say they did such a thing. but great photos, great laughs! too bad you're in a hurry, i would have enjoyed if you stayed a little longer. have fun on your trip do lots of climbing and take lots of photos. (both i know you'll do plenty of!!!!)
