Day Eight

We left the Bellagio today, which was a little bit sad. It's been totally wicked staying there, so it was a shame to leave. But 4 days in Vegas is ALL you need, and it was definitely time to vamos. So we left, and started the long drive to Fresno.

About 40 miles along the road we stopped for some fuel, some water, some food, you know, general supplies before hitting the desert. Over our Carls Jr lunch we were like

"So. This drive to San Fran is basically going backwards 700 miles, innit?"

"Yeah babes, it is"

"Shall we not go? Shall we just drive north instead?"

"Yes, let's do THAT. Let's go and visit the Mormans."

So that was that, and we headed north, towards Salt Lake City. We drove through the vast desert landscape of Nevada, hit the massive rock formations of Arizona and headed straight through to the mountains of Utah. The state motto is "Life is Elevated", I suppose because they have a lot of mountains. The drive has been incredible. At one point we were driving through this massive rock mountain, and the road was cleaved into it, looming up on either side. It was honestly mind blowing. There wasn't a moment of anything average. It was all epic and eye popping.

We stopped in Cedar City, which is about 200 miles from SLC. It's a nice place, surrounded by mountains. We had a very chilled out evening.

We went to Walmart. That could almost warrant it's own post. It sold everything. Rifle? Yep. Machete? Quilting Equipment? Yep. Flash Drives in an assortment of colours? Yep. Jesus. American supermarkets RULE.
