We spent the night at camp Wal Mart in Orum, UT. The parking lot was about 80% full when we arrived. We parked the rig and watched as it got dark and evening became night and the parking lot was still about 75% full. There were cars coming and going all the time and people carrying out all kinds of items they were purchasing. I do not believe I ever saw a store with as much business and it just kept coming.

By morning they were mostly all gone, but for a Sunday morning it was still getting busy.

We got away about 8:30 am and headed north on I15 to Salt
Lake City where we picked up I80 and headed west. The wind was fairly calm most of the day with some windy areas as we went through the mountain passes. We stopped in Wells NV for lunch and a nap and when we got ready to go again, it was getting windy and we had wind gusts most of the afternoon.

We made a lot of miles today, 332 miles in fact, a really good day for us. It all seemed to work out well with traffic and the mountains. We have not decided on our route tomorrow, for sure. We may cut cross country on US95 and 140 into Oregon which will save a lot of miles by not going all the way to Reno, NV to I5 and back north to Canyonville, OR.

We may just flip a coin and see how it lands to see which way we go.

Our photos are of the Great Salt Lake. It is quite low and the water is way out from its high level in the spring.

A photo of the Morton Salt plant as well as an object built out in the salt flats. I thought it might be a micro wave tower for phone service but it really did not look like it. I really do not know why anyone would build such a structure, just for the building of it. Who knows for sure what it really is. You can see pieces of it laying out on the salt.
