Happy Easter!

We were greeted on Easter Sunday, day two, by temps in the low 30's and sunny skies.  And as we merged onto I-80, we passed the "world headquarters" for Cabela's. (Huh!)

There must be more to Sydney, NE than meets the eye.

Not too far down the road we crossed into Wyoming, where we saw the Virgin Mary, Abraham Lincoln, and more Pronghorn Antelope than I could count.

A little more visually exciting than Nebraska, Wyoming offered up many little
towns that you just wonder why are they there...there appears to be nothing there.

But then you run across a 30' tall concrete Virgin Mary.  (Huh!)  It is Easter! Coincidence?
I think not.

This road caught my eye.  If I could choose the name of my street, this would
be in the running.  Just makes me smile.

As you exit off I-80 onto Happy Jack Road, you pass a large bust of Abraham
Lincoln watching over you.  (Huh!)  It's a long story as to why he is there
(longer than I want to explain), one of those things that make you go...hmmm?

One of the few visual perks driving on I-80 through Wyoming is seeing the
mountains on the north side of the state of Colorado in the distance.

A few geologic features help pass the miles.  Here we get to go around and
through them, but usually it is up and over them.

Of course there the long straight-a-ways, with many of them beginning and
ending with a substantial elevation change.

The only issue to deal with to date, is an electrical issue involving the trailer lights.
David made quick work of it, with Alice's assistance...or something like that.

And then there was state number 4.  Thank you Utah for some visual excitement!

Heading towards Salt Lake City, we passed by Park City.  It looks totally
different that I had imagined.  Lucky for us ski season has tapered off and ski
traffic was not an issue.  One issue a day is enough.

We touched down in SLC for the night, with a day and a half left to go.  Thank goodness for NPR and a finite amount of space in a gas tank.  Tomorrow...The Great Salt Lake!


My Zen from the Road:  I obviously gave the great state of Wyoming a hard time above, and look at what it revealed to me.  That whole "don't judge a book..." thing goes for lots of stuff, including big wide open spaces.  (I'm still not sure why some of those little towns are out there though!)

P.S.  I just realized this is my 200th post on Walliebloggin'...Huh!
