We set off from Provo on Thursday. It took a long time to get out of Utah. We passed through the salt flats. If you looked at a map of the Dwight D. Eisenhower freeway (I-80) you would see that it is completely straight and boring. We passed the time by listening to music and learning Russian. We slept at Lee and Becky Shumway's house in Elko, Nevada. This picture was taken there.

After traveling across the state of Nevada, we stopped at the Reno Nevada Temple. It is one of the smaller temples. The view of Reno from the hill the temple is on is awesome.

Visiting Nevada reminded me of watching Bonanza when I was little we passed Virginia City, Carson City...and we probably drove through the Ponderosa, as well.

I'm trying to get a picture with all 50 state capitols. Here is Nevada's state capitol in Carson City.
There is the awesome Silver dome...for the Silver State.
