There it is!!!  It’s the sign when we cross into another state.  Today it was Nevada and Utah.  It’s always fun to snap a picture.  CHEESE!

Today we drove for 5 hours through Eastern Nevada (middle of nothing).  We finally made it to Great Basin National Park and headed to the visitor’s center for a tour.  We weren’t just doing a tour of the park, we were headed into a cave!  The cave was discovered by Absalom Lehman over a hundred years ago.  Even though it was 100 degrees outside, the cave was 50 degrees inside.  We were led by an amazing ranger named Hannah.  She lead us through many different “rooms” while teaching us about the cave.  We learned about the formations including stalagmites, stalactites, and even other cave formations known as cave bacon and popcorn!  It was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

Today has been a day of driving in the middle of nowhere. Every single road has been straight, with not a car in sight. At one point we drove about a hundred miles without a sign of civilization. The single lane roads have had a speed limit of 70, just because there is literally nothing around! We saw about 400 cows and probably 10 people. There were miles and miles of just grass, and cows, and more grass. It is a huge victory when we find a little town, even if the population is like 50 people. (See photo below to see where we gassed up the car today) It has been a great trip so far, with many new adventures!
