Day 17 (7/29) Out our way home

Sunrise in NV

Well, the decision to finish the day in Great Basin was definitely worth it. We had a relaxing dinner, and woke up to a great sunrise over the basin and range. We were on the road by 7:30, and though we promptly lost an hour at the Utah border, we had a good jump start on the day.

Took a quick pit stop in Salt Lake City for a run. Kate found a nice trail along a river (Jordan?) and even though it was raining more or less the entire stop, it was a great run. Lunch was at some Good News church that happened to have a cafe/bookstore (Google didn't notify us of all this!). It ended up being good coffee/I got a pulled pork special.

Nothing much else of note today. I'd say it rained for 75% of the time on the road. Not the best traveling weather, but we made due.

The final stop for the night was Laramie, WY. Kate again found an awesome restaurant downtown for Bison Burgers, and good wine/beer. Also our cheapest motel of the trip at $45 and wasn't half bad!
