Winnemucca, NV

400 miles – our longest drive yet. There was a mountain advisory (means there are steep declines and it’s Boots’ turn to drive) out of Coalville to Salt Lake City (50 miles). Luckily this was a holiday (Labor Day), so Boots driving in the city was not as traumatic an event as it might have been. Had there been an easy exit we could have traded drivers after the mountains. But no such luck. The drive through Salt Lake City was very complex and full of cloverleaf intersections with lots of other highways. At one point we were sure we had missed our exit and were headed “who only knew”. Then as if by magic we were on the right road at it was just poor signage that confused us.
