On the road to Steamboat Springs

A speedy shot of Bonneville

The valley of Blue Roofs.

It's pumpkin time at the farmer's market

A nice camp fire to warm a 26-degree morning in SS
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO - - We cleared the bad weather which had been chasing us about the time we reached Utah's famed  Bonneville Salt Flats.  The wide expanse of white terrain...the remnants of a long ago salt lake still survives up the road giving Salt Lake City its name.  Once a year in the optimum hot, hot and dry weather 'The Flats' attract a diverse attendance of two and four wheel participants seeking to set new land speed records.  Nearly 100 years ago before Bonneville came to fame Sir
Malcolm Campbell was blistering the sands of Ormond / Daytona Beach to render the area "The Birthplace of Speed".
    So now we've traded for cold rainy weather for clear, cold (26-degrees this morning) weather.  And cold wins every time.
