Bonneville salt flat speedway

View across the salt flatsSunday 16th March
Today we had a long trip planned from Salt Lake City to Reno, Nevada. It was going to be about 830 ks but the entire road was 2 lane highway with no stops or towns to slow down for at all. The road speed limit was 75 mph so we managed the trip in a little over 7 hours with stops for lunch and petrol. It's so good to travel on a continuous road only stopping after taking an exit into a town and not having to slow down for anything. If you didn't need petrol stops you could drive without slowing down. Anyway we did stop for food, petrol and sight seeing. The one sight seeing spot was Bonneville salt flats. The Bonneville speedway if famous for land speed records, and if you have watched "The worlds fastest Indian" you will know what I am talking about. Anyhow the trip went well and we arrived at Reno and found cheap accommodation at Harrahs Casino in the middle of town. Once settled in we went to Ihop again for dinner, yum! After dinner we went back to the motel and watched TV and planned our day for Monday.
