Tuesday Afternoon, February 8, 2011

After taking a nap I checked the Wyoming DOT web site an saw that the roads were starting to open back up.  I-80 was open for about 100 miles west of me.  I decided that I would wait a little longer so I went back to sleep.  That felt real good!!  Woke up a little later and rechecked the web site.  I-80 was open all the way across Wyoming. It was still snowing in Laramie and it was very overcast.  I got on the road about 1:15 pm EST.  The roads were not read good in Laramie.  This is what it looked like:

After a while the roads cleared up but there was the usual Wyoming cross wind of about 30 mph.  Drove the 310 miles in Wyoming, then through Utah and into Nevada.  Had a brief period of heavy snow for about 5 miles in the Bonneville Salt Flat area but other that that the ride was pretty uneventful.  Stopped for the night at the Casinos in West Wendover, Nevada.  Had a good meal at the restaurant in the casino.  Why is it that there are so many old women using walkers in casinos?
