Do they run some special kind of cattle here, cattle that produces salted meat perhaps? I have no idea, but the salt build-up on the thousands of posts makes them look like stalagmites you can find in caves. Why is there a rusty barbwire fence along salt flats, I wonder. If you want to square off your rear tyre, this would be the place to do it! It's so boring that my mind wanders and my eyes look for things to keep me occupied… Along the road I see a very rusty barb wire fence. The scenery along the way is, well, flat, salt and a dead straight road. There were even huge billboards about things like breast implants and that I can have my mammogram made in 30 minutes… to top it all off there were billboards about 'friendly' undertakers… almost macabre. We longed back to the Yukon, Montana and Wyoming… Even the hundreds of roadsigns annoyed me. The last 3-lane highway we had been on was in Anchorage… which was a country lane compared to this madhouse. I guess they checked me for outstanding traffic violations? Last time I was in the US it was all 55 mph, now it's 75 and everyone is doing 85… Being suddenly on 3-lane highways was somewhat of a shock. No little Astra diesel for these guys, their office is a fast Dodge Charger… They're behind me 3 times within an hour, come closer (to read my license plate I suppose) then drop back and keep following me for a couple of minutes. The State Troopers in this country have fancy cars. "Life elevated" it says on the license plates, make that 'Living the high life'! The scenery this state has to offer is unbelievable. Still, if I had just a couple of weeks vacation, I would most likely fly to Salt Lake City and spend my vacation in Utah. Too many cars, too many people and too many roads. Salt Lake City is, for me, a city like many others.
