So we left SoCal and headed up past San Francisco to the museum. We had a great time there reading all the comic strips and learning the history of the Peanuts creator. He even lived in Colorado Springs once.
This brings me back to the long drive home. I-80 out of California takes you through Nevada and into Utah. Right past this little known place with no buildings or structures only a sign marking the spot where humans attempt to make history.
It's the Bonneville Salt Flats, a huge desert like climate that is purely salt for miles and miles. Do to the nature of the salt being so level people from all over the world come to set the Land Speed Record.
In The Worlds Fastest Indian, Anthony Hopkins plays an character who travels from Australia with his motorcycle to see how fast he can go. It's a very well done movie.
The place is unlike any desert vie ever been before. Nothing grows there, it's completely baron and yet somehow quite peaceful. Athena went on a long walk exploring while I set up a couple small flashes to get the shot with us and Mudflap (the Element).
I truly want to go back.
