The Life of Penguin Five

Bonneville Salt Flats

We headed over to the Bonneville Salt Flats race track to check out the cars and bikes trying to set speed records during the speed week. Unfortunately most riders were already gone when we got there! Apparently most cars and bikes already broke down earlier in the week as the riders demand the most of their vehicles. Therefore they didn't have enough "bodies" to run today. We only saw a couple of cars and a bike run. This is one of them.

Even though we were of course disappointed that most of the action was already over, it was great to have been there. The salt flats are magical! It is just surreal being in a big white desert-like landscape!

With less time spent in Bonneville, we had more time to explore Salt Lake City with its mormone temple.


I have backblipped the first days of our trip:
Monday 15 August 2011: A first glimpse of San Francisco
Tuesday 16 August 2011: Full House!
Wednesday 17 August 2011: The lights of Reno
Thursday 18 August 2011: Lake Tahoe
