THE GREAT SOLAR ECLIPSE LOOP TOUR - Day 3

August 18, 2017, 255 miles, Elko, NV to Tremonton, UT.  Today was rather low key for our adventurous bunch.  Just drove and drove and drove.  Actually got in early for a change, which was nice. 

Morning drivers meeting.



Interstate 80 to state route 233/30, you know not much is happening when you start counting cars in a train, 101 cars incidentally. 



At our gas stop in Montelo, NV, I think we outnumbered the citizens of the town.   Anyway, made their day at the gas station/store.



Welcome to Utah's back door.



I nominate route 233/30 for the new loneliest road.  Nothing but grass as fur as the eye kin see.



Lunch in the little town of Snowville, UT, you have to go to a mom and pop restaurant to get fresh homemade peach cobbler.   



Back to civilization on I84, found out my A wants to do 60 when the day is almost done.



Told you it was a low level day, tomorrow is Promontory Point.

We missed your lunch! We stopped along the road and had a picnic under the only shade trees for miles! We got really spread out today, so much space and road with nothing there we decided to use it.
