Lots of this through Wyoming. After 13 hours in the road we pulled over in Casper for a load of laundry & a few winks.
We stopped in Rock Springs, WY at a 50's burger joint for lunch. The kids were stoked to get shakes.
Here is a view from inside Rock Springs.
Wyoming seems to be the energy state. We saw refineries, oil pumping, coal mining, fracking and wind farming.
When we reached Utah we were elated to see less arid land and some mountains.
Here is the view from our hotel in downtown SLC. You cannot see it clearly, but this is the LDS business college in front of BYU.
After a LONG couple days in the car, Michael & I needed to stretch our legs. We went sight seeing downtown. It's a very nice urban center. The light rail is free for travelers within the downtown.
We stopped by the big Temple downtown. It was beautifully landscaped.
Later we stumbled upon a business called BTG. It was a wine bar that served small plates and flights of wine. It was PHENOMENAL! We started with the bone marrow served with a bacon jam and a smoked fennel with baby greens, apples and blue cheese salad.
The decor was fun. Lights over the bar hung in old wine bottles.
Chandeliers were made from wine glasses.
Love a good Napoleon quote.
They modified their chicken to be gluten free. Served with kale, bacon, roasted garlic, mashed potatoes & a Demi glacé made from Madeira and honey.
Here is Michael in front of the windmill display in front of the convention center.
We found the space alien missionaries in the spaceship on my Roadside America App. They are right in front of the Salt Lake Brewing Company. Awesome!
Note their ties!

Tomorrow we start the last leg of our drive through the Salt Flats, Nevada, over the Sierras and home to the valley. We are ready to come home. What a great trip.
