August 13, 2006 - Day 34 - 566 Miles Reno, NV - Springville, UT

Reno, NV - Springville, UT

Well...the bad news is no one in Reno subsidized my trip. Had a great time, gambled for something like 12 hours, ate a lot of food and drank a semi-serious amount of beer, and dropped less than a hundred bucks. So, someone subsidized some of that. In one session of Hold 'Em I played for four hours and came out $8 up. But, hey, it's a gain...not a loss, huh?

Today's ride was essentially a total loss. Wanting to make some time toward the way home I chose to take I-80 from Reno to Salt Lake City. You talk about miles and miles of nothing! While there are some beautiful places in Nevada, they ain't on this road!!





Wendover, NV














Bonneville Salt Flats







Pulled into Provo about 7:30 p.m. local time hoping to catch Bobby J. and Z at home. Didn't though. I'm thinking they went to Sturgis or something like that. All calls the past couple of days went to voicemail and I haven't heard anything. BOBBY - Your phone's ringing!!! When that happens...you should ANSWER it.

Pulling out tomorrow for a known good ride. Hwy 6 through Price, UT.
