Above the salt

We have left behind the alien wasteland that is Utah.

The Great Salt lake reminded me of my ocean home, the water stretching to the horizon, small shrubs clinging to life amidst the alkali sand. As we chased the setting sun towards Nevada, the great sea dried up and gave way to a gray desert as far as the eye could see. We pulled over to walk on an evaporated ocean where sculptures made of rocks and discarded beer bottles dotted the landscape. I felt like our footprints would last forever in this place outside of time.

The orange pink sun dipped behind the mountains and I hit cruise control at 80mph, there was a little over 500 miles of desert between us and the "Biggest Little City in the World".
