Entering and leaving Utah (I just "hit" a corner of the state)

 The Wendover Will sign was created in 1952, as a welcoming sign for the Stateline Casino. It was given to the city of West Wendover around the late 1900s and became the "World's Largest Mechanical Cowboy" at 63 ft. tall.

Because of all the rain, the Salt Flats were flooded; the water came to within inches of clearing the highway in places.

Golden Spike National Historic Site -  May 10, 1869 the Union and Central Pacific Railroads joined their rails at Promontory Summit. Golden Spike National Historic Site commemorates this incredible accomplishment of this nation's first transcontinental railroad.








Over 200,000 emigrants followed the California Tail through City of Rocks, a name coined by James F. Wilkins.  Weary by the time they arrived, they rested, grazed stocks and left their names and messages on the rocks.



City of Rocks is internationally renowned for rock climbing
