hot august nights and national automobile museum

Thursday 8th August 2019

Toady's plan was to hit the Reno National Automobile museum and then head to Salt Lake City but that changed a little when we found out that Reno had the yearly car show on called Hot August Nights, where 5000 cars of all descriptions come to Reno for about 4 days of shows and events.  So we went to the museum first to see the Gold DeLorean VIN 4300 due to the rarity of it, and it's super cool.  The museum has a lot of other cars that are really cool as well.  Once finished in the museum we walked to the main street in Reno which was blocked off and had a look at the cars on display.  It was like our Zippel Cruise but bigger!!  After a couple hours of checking out cars we hit the road bound for Salt Lake City which was a cool 500 miles away.  With a speed limit of 80 mph we covered the distance pretty quickly.  The last hour of the trip sees us drive next to Bonneville Salt flats which was very pretty on sunset.

Got to Salt Lake and had some Ihop cause it had gone 9.00 pm and then went and checked into the motel.  Staying close to the airport as tomorrow we hit the road again heading to Moab and Arches NP and Canyonlands NP.
