Hwy15, Utah, Hwy80, Wind, Nevada, Burning Man 2010

Hi friends and family! Checking in after a week or so of new adventures. After we saw Bryce Canyon we drove on Highway 15 (bad road to drive with a slow camper) toward Salt Lake City. Right when we pulled off the road coming into Salt Lake City our little camper pooped out in a Denny's parking lot. After an easy hitch down the street to an RV shop we realized it was a simple spark plug problem with an easy fix. So, back on the road we checked out the Salt Lake City Mormon Temple and surrounding area for a day. Leaving Salt Lake City, we headed west on Highway 80 toward Nevada, we encountered a TON of wind and ended up pulling off a couple times so we didn't blow over in the camper. No problemo. We always have our house with us, and come packed with food, water, books on tape, a guitar, and a deck of cards. So after dinner and a couple games of "Go Fish," the wind died down and we were back on the road toward Fernley, Nevada, the last stop to fuel and stock up before heading north toward Black Rock and Burning Man 2010. Yes, we decided to just go this year. Being in the neighborhood and with the time, we decided to go see what the annual event was all about. Our summary: anything you have heard is probably true at least in part about Burning Man. The artwork and artists are truly amazing, and it certainly is an unforgettable experience. It may be event that is better understood experienced rather than explained, but in the meantime we've posted some photos for you to peruse. Now, we are back home in the Bay Area (CA), probably headed toward Yosemite. We're looking forward to some more hiking and backpacking! After that--you guessed--no firm plans yet! Stay tuned and thank you for checking in. We hope you are all well.

Best,

Josh and Robin
