Out of hours in Salt Lake.

I ran out of hours today, but I was able to get to Salt Lake and get the last car picked up. I will gain enough hours tomorrow to get to Denver. I think we'll take a day off there. I was able to get at least a couple of different pictures in the last two days.

Dust Devil in Nevada. Dust devil is just left of center, if you look real close you can see another real small one to the far right.



Tree of Utah.
The Tree of Utah is an artwork constructed between 1982-1986 by the Swedish artist Karl Momen. The Iranian-born Momen, who painted portraits of Stalin and the Shah of Iran early in his career, later studied with the surrealist painter Max Ernst, and studied architecture at the Kunst Academy in Stuttgart, Germany. It has been said that he was moved to create the 87 foot tall tree by the "vastness and relative emptiness" of the Bonneville Salt Flats, and that the tree "brings space, nature, myth and technology together". The tree's six spheres are all coated with natural rock and minerals found within the state of Utah, and the pods below symbolize the changing of the seasons, when trees naturally transform themselves. The costs of building the tree, reportedly over a million dollars, were provided entirely by Mr. Momen. The tree now belongs to the State of Utah.

Kate at Donner Summit.

The pass received its name from a group of California-bound emigrants. In early November 1846, the Donner party found the route blocked by snow and was forced to spend the winter on the eastern side of the mountains. Of the 81 emigrants, only 45 survived to reach California; some of them resorted to cannibalism to survive.
