Woke up at the Casino and slowly got ready as we were not in a hurry. Packed up the bike and got ready to leave.
The parking lot had emptied out of a lot of the gearheads overnight. There were many piles of salt left marking the spots of the cars that had been on the salt. As we got ready to leave, we saw Dave Perowitz walking toward the vehicle next to ours.
Left Wendover and headed east on I-80. It has to be the straightest interstate ever seen. The salt flats go on for about 40 miles. Places can be seen where people have driven in them and some of the places appear to be more mud covered with a thin crust of salt.
Drove by the Great (stinky) Salt Lake and into the Salt Lake City area and headed to Dort and Karl’s. Got turned around near their house since so much construction has been done in the area in the last three years. Got to Karl’s as he was getting ready. Parked the bike and packed the truck to head to the cabin.
The trip to the cabin was nice, with a stop for Subway in Evanston.
Got to the cabin and unpacked. Rain was in the area, but the area immediately around the cabin was nice. Took the 4-wheelers out with Karl on a bike ride. The terrain was rough, but both of us got through it (one person got stuck once). The ride took us through gorgeous treed trails and up mountains. In one place, the trail went through a burned out area that has since started to regrow.
Near the half way point, it started to rain. Then it rained more. We got quite cold and wet but made it back to the cabin in one piece and not too cold. Diane and Rich were here unpacking when we got here.
Got changed and dried as we talked in the cabin. Ate elk steaks and many other good food as we caught up for the night.
Mileage on the bike for the day was 148.4.
