Under Water at the Bonneville International Raceway


Note: More than one photo.
We took a trip recently to one of the cumulatively strangest places in the United States: the Western Desert of Utah. To start our journey we stopped off at the world famous Bonneville International Raceway on the Salt Flats of Utah. This is was the view at the location of the Raceway. Yes, the entire area had reverted to is prehistoric state of being covered by water and I should add very salty water. This photo begins a series of photos that show some of the unexpected, wierd, and always beautiful locations that highlight a 400 mile trip on dirt roads with no phone reception. Here is another photo taken from the same location in a different direction.


If you visit the Western Desert area of Utah other than by freeway, you will begin to notice that the horizon is flat and there are always mountain ranges either near or far. During my many visits to the area that consists of the western 1/3 of Utah, I am always surprised at the grand vistas and unexpected details. Here is another view. You probably should know that this salty water is only about 6 inches deep.
