Our trip today was relatively uneventful. We traveled north on US89, a nice road with beautiful mountains and the Sevier River rushing alongside. We went down in elevation for many miles until we got to I70 and headed west.

We had a tail wind all the way up US89 until we got to I70 and then it was from the south and really made it rough to stay in the proper lane. Once we got to I15 and headed north it was a nice tail wind again. I would estimate the wind at 20 to 30mph which really helped on the upgrades. It is surprising to see what a tail wind will do to help stay in overdrive going up grades.

It was nice to be able to relax and travel with the wind and not be bothered with keeping in your lane.

We are currently in Orem, UT, just north of Provo. We will be traveling north on I15 to Salt Lake City and then west on I80. I am hoping that the wind dies down or changes direction before tomorrow as we head west. Probably it will change and come from the west for a headwind,

which is almost as bad as a sidewind.

Not sure where we will be tomorrow night, but somewhere in Nevada on I80.
