Utah, Here I Come!

In 2004, we left Utah and moved to California.  Since then, we've made the 700 mile trip (each way) to/from Utah/California about 3 times a year, sometimes 4 and 5.  We have the road through Nevada basically memorized.

In May of 2015, I made the drive once again, to start a new job at BYU and find a house for us to move back to permanently!

The 10 hour drive from Sacramento to Salt Lake is spent mostly in Nevada with 6 of those hours.  There actually is some beauty in Nevada and it's not just a boring desert.  It's a very relaxing drive.

Here is a leftover volcano

I-80 going and going and going and going.....

Battle Mountain - half way point. Nothing here..keep driving

The tunnel!  You have to honk all the way through. When we would go at night, the kids made us wake them up when we got to the tunnel.

Cool rock outcroppings just past the tunnel

Another volcano relic
