Around the Day in I-80 States

Here's a recap of Ruby's DRIVE for change:

On Wednesday (8/19) I left Berkeley for Reno.

On Friday I left Reno for Elko.

On Saturday morning I woke up in Elko, Nevada, and drove to Salt Lake City.

After having a little snack and visiting a natural grocery store, I drove to Rawlins Wyoming. The whole way I drove on East I-80.

As a girl from Boston, I always feel a little funny driving East. It just seems like a bad idea...

On the way home from Denver (I left Colorado on 8/31), I mixed it up a little--I spent a night in Laramie, Wyoming and then drove to Salt Lake City for a night.

I explored the Great Salt Lake a bit more, and shot this video for you:




I drove happily WEST on I-80 through the Great Salt Flats:



Then I finally crossed over the border of Nevada and landed in Elko--which feels like home now.



Sunset out my window introduced me to shades of pink unknown to my eyes until tonight... wonderful!
