Roadtrip Fix

Lately I have been cheesin to get out on the road and drive a little bit. Let Gabby stretch her legs and maybe get a little dirty. All of a sudden Liz is saying that we are heading out to the Sun Tunnels and Spiral Jetty. It has something to do with one of her art history classes but for me it is a way to get out of the city. So we pack up the truck, meet up with some of her class mates and hit the road. The first leg of the trip is to head west to Wendover, on the way we stop at the Tree of Utah. I had never seen it before, but it is basically a sculpture of a big tree just off of the highway. After a quick pit stop it was off to Wendover to see an abandoned (yet still kinda in use) airfield. Apparently the filmed Con Air there as well as a number of other films. From there we hit the Bonneville Salt Flats (that place where they attempt land speed records) and when we drove out onto the flats it was like leaving this world behind. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of that, but its flat and salty. You get the idea. From there it was out to the Sun Tunnels for a night of camping then off to the Spiral Jetty. Sadly a snowstorm cut the trip a little short and our time at the Jetty was brief.
