Tuesday

We got up this morning, said our goodbyes to Hotrod Joe, headed to the car wash to get the salt off of the roadster. It was a short drive to Salt Lake City, 130 miles. I got a little sun/wind burn, look a bit like Rudolph!
We found our favorite hotel, the La Quinta, checked in and decided to go downtown to see the Planetarium, Rodney read about it somewhere. It was a neat place. We drove back to the hotel during rush hour, thank goodness for the HOV lane. It was hot today, high 90's. Funny, the car could idle all around the salt flats and never go over 185 degrees, in the traffic on I15 at 5 PM it was running at 210. That is not a problem but one would think the flats would be hotter. I guess all the concrete around us here holds the heat.
Tomorrow is more sight seeing, Rodney has picked out some things, then we will visit friend Stan Wanlass at 7 PM, that will be a good time.
