Day 18- Salt Lake City, Utah

Total miles- 650

Last night, we fell asleep listening to thunder and 50 degrees temp.  No rain and we all slept sound!!! We took down the tent and jumped in the car and started on our 1 1/2 drive out of Yosemite.  The sights were beautiful.  Once again, the pictures don't match the beauty. There were mountain lion warnings but we only saw a little woodchuck.  

As we began our climb down the mountain from 9900 feet, we came across a pullout where we could see the road ahead of us... Check out the truck on the road, and there was NO guardrail!! It was kind of freaky driving down!!!

We made it to the bottom and headed out towards Utah.  Once again, the girls took a couple of naps in the car!!

Our other excitement for the day was driving by the jail where OJ Simpson lives, a mudslide in the middle of the desert, driving through Hawthorne Army Depot (where they produce and store ammunition) and driving through the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. And yes, we stopped along the interstate so we could walk on the salt. For 50 miles, nothing but salt flats!

After 11 hours of driving and one time zone change, we made it to Salt Lake City. We ate some dinner and enjoyed the hot tub before going to bed.  Easy day tomorrow... Only an hour drive to Logan.
