I got up and walked out and saw this



this could be interesting... my stupid ass loaded up the bike before backing it out of the spot... took about 5 min just to back up to the clear portion behind it LOL.

Anyways... on the road, and up to Sodier's Summet. *





It was DAMN COLD. *The heated Vest was worth twice it's money through there. *Hands froze but not much could be done about that. The pass was actually short lived... only about 40 miles worth of COLD weather... then it was only... cold. LOL *I passed through Provo and Salt Lake City. *Then headed west to Bonniville Salt Flats.







Thought I'd try catch'n a few of me riding... this is where the pavement ends... about 5" of water for the first 10' then only 2-3"







Then it was on to Wendover to wash all the salt off (not sure which one shows the salt better... but there was a shit ton... as it took several attemps to get those above photos)



No clean photos... as the day was growing long and the weather was rolling in. *So cross the border I went...



And a dash to Elko where I'm stay'n for the night. *Tomorrow it's off to Idaho, and Oregon. *Possibly to Portland... but it's gonna be a long day if so.

Finally figured out my spot tracking...

Should of setup spotwalla, spot deletes your track.

I think the Spot Adventures website will keep a log of trips, but the main Spot share site will not keep the track. Hell it might start deleting the tracks before you even get back to Mississippi.

It's not as much fun when you're on *this* side of the Spot. LOL.

I have pretty much quit reading people's ride reports for this reason . I don't care to learn from people, the good memories are when things go wrong.
