I 80 gets longer and longer

We told you about getting additional travel support from some local critters. Well, disappointedly, the sheep proved unreliable. First they ate some of our plants, then they abandoned the area to find better pastures. They did provide hours of entertainment while they munched and meandered behind our yard.


We are now headed east on long and boring Interstate 80. The mountains of California and Nevada retain their coats of snow making the ride actually rather nice. Some of you have wondered what Anna Lee does while Jerry drives. Among her many activities in the navigator’s chair are crossword puzzles, knitting, leafing through magazines, studying maps and tour books, changing radio stations or cd book discs, napping and fetching water or coke. For about an hour each day Jerry gets to “relax” while Anna Lee drives.

After a pleasant night at our usual accommodations at the Winnemucca WalMart, we headed to Utah and to the Great Salt Lake.


There is an intriguing sculpture on the side of the highway, no sign, not even a place to pull off and really look at it; but it does offer a delightful diversion on the straight road. Anyone who knows more about this please let us know.
