Day 11: Salt Flats? Or Salt Lake?

Today I get to see the Bonneville Salt Flats! It’s the only highlight of the day so I’m looking forward to it. I’ve seen it on tv and in the movie “World’s Fastest Indian” and would like to check it out myself. Unfortunately, it was hours away and I’d have to deal with the boring Nevada desert

For most of the day, I was just droning along the highway. Well, more like flying down the highway. Unfortunately, Mr. Nice Policeman noticed my speed and stopped to chat. He told me I was doing 90 in a 75. Phew, I thought I was doing a lot faster. I actually slowed down to speed limit because I wanted to take the exit but there was a car in front of me who I wanted to overtake and that’s when I accelerated to 90. He’s a rider himself so he reduced my ticket from 15 over to 5 over. It’s still a $119 ticket though.

I eventually made it to the Salt Flats but it didn’t look like the Salt Flats. It looked more like a Salt Lake. For as far as you could see, the Salt Flats was filled with water. I was really looking forward to riding on the salt but I guess that wasn’t happening today. At least it looked nice.











After hanging out at the Salt Flats, I headed to Salt Lake City where I met up with Capital_E from advrider who was taking me in for the night. I settled in, and called it a night.
