I had planned on spending the night in Wendover, Utah on the western edge of the salt flats and the border of Nevada/Utah. But once I stopped in the interstate rest area about 9 miles short of there, I decided it was worth spending the night there instead.

From the rest area, you could walk (or even drive) directly onto the flats. Really cool.

Boardman Rest Area, westbound, on I-84.

This the highest point of the Arapuni walkway trail. Its quite a steep incline but the reward is stunning views of the river and the surrounding district.

A common sight at Korean rest areas. Maybe not the best photo, but best visual description of my day.

Pretty original name for a rest area, ne? I had to hike up the stairs and run across the street to take a picture of this. Mind you, the elevation here is high and the air rather thin. I was winded when I got back

Letting us know we have just entered Central Time Zone from the Eastern Time Zone of Georgia and Chattanooga.

walk up thru the creek

Curious little tree growing out of a rock...apparently been there since the 1800's.

We stopped here on our way to Burning Man in 2004, and decided to stop again this time.

Got called into work today, so I got some early foliage shots along the way. 3 shot pano.

One of Michigan's Welcome Centers, this one located about 150 miles from the nearest state line. Interesting placement for a "Welcome Center." Although I suppose the people of Central Michigan need a convenient place to go for a map and some tourist info.

This rest area is on US-127 SB.

but makes a nice viewpoint

Something about this sign made me laugh. Seen at a freeway rest stop in France

A rest area sculpture on Route 89 in Vermont.

There is a story to these sculptures, I just don't know it yet. Or know all of it. I found a picture of one of them online with this caption:

"One of 18 sculptures designed and fabricated during the International Sculpture Symposium held in Vermont in 1968 and 1971. Matching grant funding was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts."

From another source I learned the sculpture symposiums were organized by a much-loved and now deceased UVM professor. The sculptors came from all over the world, and the output was set at rest areas on Routes 89 and 91.

scared the crap out of her dad, she was right above a fall
