Road Trip Destination: Kentucky

Day One July 14:

On the bright, sunny, hot day of July 14th; JoAnna and I set off on our adventure today of trekking across 2,300 miles of land to my new place of residence: Florence, KY.
We started of Right with a slight delay leaving at 11:30 am rather than my projected 10am, but who is counting. Once we were on the road passing all of the beautiful scenery Nevada has to offer: sagebrush, road Kill, and the desert dirt. About lunch time we stopped in the lovely city/town of lovelock...back on the road we continued to see road kill it was really gross: deer, squirrels, foxes, and some I couldn't even tell what they were...Moving on we then came to Utah where what little greenery there is turns into a white wasteland of sulfur smelling salt...That night we retired to our rooms after a quick dip in the hot tub...it would have been better if the hot tub was cold....

Day two July 15

Uneventful...more road kill...oh in Wyoming there are strange wooden structures that are placed in random places along the road and we could not figure out why they are there. At first we were thinking they were wind blocks, then maybe they were made for snow banks; we never did find an answer so it will remain an unsolved mystery. We did see live animals as well cows, a buffalo and antelope (aka waterless beavers: long story)...One Amazing thing was crossing from WY to CO because the scenery change almost instantly to trees and huge rocks.
