For the longest time I've wanted to visit southwestern USA and this fall finally had the opportunity. Once we finished supporting our son for his Xterra Championship Race in Snow Basin, Utah, we headed out on a two week road trip which went from Salt Lake City across to Oregon, south to San Francisco and back to Utah via Las Vegas, NV.
In between we visited the Bonneville Salt Flats ...
Thunder Mountain Monument alongside I-80 near Imlay, NV (weird and bizarre but well worth the stop!) ...
Reno, NV (such a melancholy vibe) ...
lovely Stephanie and husband Vince in Rogue River (no photos! what was I thinking?!?) ...
long time online friend Corinne and husband Larry in Medford, OR (bonus: I got to see her Altered Book show!)...
And that was just the first week!
