windiness

1:37
ah wyoming
1:37
winds rolling through the plains

the infamous
2:04
infamous
2:06
infamous that's more than famous i don't
2:09

2:12
the tree in the rock
2:14
right here
2:16
this tree is growing through
2:18
a rock
2:26
small pine tree that seems to be growing
2:26
out of a solid rock has fascinated
2:29
travelers
2:30
since the first train rolled past the
2:32
union pacific railroad
2:43
all right back to my car there's a rest
2:45
stop at the top of the hill here
2:47
looks pretty grown over by the picnic
2:49
tables obviously today
2:51
no one picnicking
2:54
out here
3:03
abe lincoln honest abe right here carved
3:04
in the side of this boulder
3:06
overlooking the interstate
3:26
there's also a commemorative piece
3:26
for the lincoln highway
3:27
america's first transcontinental
3:30
automobile road which is next to abe
3:33
right over there as well
3:35
i got the freeway down there well
3:37
interstate
3:39
living in california i got used to
3:41
calling freeways which i guess it is a
3:43
freeway because it doesn't cost anything
3:44
to go on it
3:56
whoa there's snow here
3:56
i didn't realize that it snowed there
3:58
are patches of snow
4:06
hello wave
4:08
and added the wind chill
4:12
takes it to a whole other level
4:18
see the flags over there waving in the
4:18
breeze
4:24
all right
4:24
back on the interstate i go interstate
4:27
80
4:28
heading west
4:30
go west
4:32
got the self-pumping gas nozzle going
4:36
fueling up
4:52
i need to go inside
4:52
definitely could use a piping hot
4:54
caffeinated beverage today
5:20
got some windmills over there
5:20
plenty of wind today
5:30
it might appear that the top to this
5:30
coffee was on
5:32
but it wasn't and i dumped it all over
5:35
me
5:36
ah that was warm but it feels pretty
5:38
good
5:45
half the coffee down my torso
5:45
it's almost like it's talking to me it's
5:46
like a character hey there
5:49
i'm gonna pour
5:50
myself all over for you
5:53
adam
5:55
i'm imitating a coffee cup
6:02
sometimes
6:02
dry torsos come
6:04
and sometimes
6:07
dry torsos go
6:10
get it
6:21
feared off the interstate just a bit
6:21
noticing this closed off rest stop
6:24
doing a little construction over there
6:30
this access road
6:30
with a retention pond
6:32
has a old timey bridge
6:40
take a look
6:40
this is awesome
6:43
runs right adjacent
6:45
to the thoroughfare
6:53
little bump there
6:53
the side back there said narrow bridge
7:07
over the river
7:07
not through any woods
7:16
i'm doing a u-turn gonna go back across
7:16
it and get back on the interstate
7:28
it's the little things
7:28
just love these historical
7:31
bridges
8:07
stopped off here in rollins population 8
8:07
000
8:08
elevation
8:09
6 000 feet
8:13
but i'm noticing
8:21
it's old radio station
8:21
building
8:23
k-r-a-l-a-m
8:46
since closed
8:46
but there's the sign
8:49
right there
8:51
and this is the building this is the
8:52
same building
8:54
i'm standing in front of
9:02
very beautiful out here
9:02
this automobile has
9:03
two front ends
9:11
got a front end there
9:11
as well as a front end here
9:19
there's no rear to this vehicle
9:19
also the wind seems to have subsided a
9:21
little bit
9:25
not as prevalent it's so it's still
9:26
windy
9:27
but nothing
9:28
like it was a little earlier this
9:30
morning
9:48
that's a great old sign right there with
9:48
the neon on it the golden eagle
9:53
oh
9:54
and then off in the distance as i step
9:56
down that little step there it's a train
9:58
going by off in the distance
10:00
and a picnic table over there which i
10:02
can guarantee has not been used
10:05
probably in decades
10:11
okay the train's off in the distance
10:11
rolling across the planes with the tops
10:14
of the trucks going by
10:23
running parallel to the interstate
10:26
beautiful countryside out here
10:39
i have continued on driving quite a ways
10:40
it appears as i've made it out of the
10:41
snowy areas
10:43
still seeing some trains though
10:59
covering a lot of miles
11:02
seems to be some sort of depot up there
11:05
or at least a train stop
11:15
plug into
11:16
the station
11:30
this restaurant is called the hungry
11:30
buddha
11:37
little sculpture out front there
11:37
looks pretty hungry and looks like clark
11:40
griswold
11:43
well looks like a vehicle clark griswold
11:44
would drive
12:02
in front of this adult video store
12:02
look at that
12:04
i guess that's what that is
12:06
it's missing an x though it's only two
12:08
x's
12:08
the naughty pine lodge looks amazing
12:12
look at this relic
12:18
it's closed down
12:18
but they do have kitchenettes for sale
12:31
although i've never seen a phone number
12:31
spelled with z's before
12:50
they have drilled out a hole through
12:50
this
12:51
mountain
12:58
i'm getting back to the future vibes
12:58
through here
13:08
keep waiting for
13:10
i keep waiting for the streamers to drop
13:12
down
13:14
to the end of the
13:15
just me
13:17
really is beautiful through here one
13:20
could say
13:22
majestic
13:23
stopped here at fort bridger
13:26
travel center
13:29
the trucks fueling up over there
13:31
i am fueling up again
13:33
it's getting pretty low on gas been
13:35
driving quite a while four
13:37
dollars and 31 cents a gallon here
13:41
and again
13:43
self pumping gas nozzle
14:10
down the ways a bit
14:10
almost approaching the utah state line
14:12
still a few miles away but getting close
14:15
here at porters
14:18
this combo
14:20
probably wouldn't go together too well
14:31
not the best mixture though it
14:31
sometimes doesn't end well well just
14:35
my assumption is it wouldn't end well
14:37
if you have a little too much
14:44
of this
14:44
and mix it with this
14:54
and it was only about three miles to the
14:54
state line from where i just was at the
14:56
fireworks stand
14:59
life elevated
15:00
crossing into utah
15:30
there's my shadow
15:30
stopped off at a rest stop
15:32
walking up this very elevated area
15:41
the trucks down there parked my car
15:41
echo canyon
15:43
hello
15:45
and that train i passed a ways back
15:48
was moving but not very quickly
15:51
and that's the same
15:52
train it's now going through
15:59
down below i am up here
17:34
the rest stop
17:34
looks very i don't say futuristic but
17:36
kind of looks like a ufo
17:38
kind of sorta
17:44
that's my interpretation anyway
17:44
as i was driving along this road
17:46
i had just assumed because i went
17:48
through salt lake city or bypass it i
17:51
should say
17:52
that this was a salty lake which it is
17:56
but i thought it was going to be a lot
17:57
more wet through this section
18:00
can i walk on this
18:03
i guess i can walk on this
18:05
it's what we'd be referred to as the
18:07
salt flats
18:13
there's a very unusual
18:13
structure right over here
18:15
oh yeah people have drove through here
18:17
people have wrote their names on the
18:19
ground and rocks
18:21
but you can see
18:22
someone has drove through there
18:27
in fact someone parked their car over
18:27
there
18:29
oh you know what it's getting kind of
18:30
getting kind of mushy maybe i shouldn't
18:32
have walked out on this
18:34
over here on the side of the fence
18:35
people have put
18:37
different locks
18:46
so stay weird down there
18:46
stitch
19:01
and more importantly what the heck is
19:02
piece of artwork
19:04
i mean i know art is always up for
19:06
interpretation
20:48
it almost doesn't look real that
20:48
backdrop of the mountains like a
20:49
painting
21:02
and just like that crossing now the
21:02
state line into nevada
21:05
my third state of the day
21:09
moving west
21:22
a good chunk of snow up there on the top
21:22
of that peak
21:37
that's not that's not the beverly hills
21:37
you're thinking of big the foot
22:04
i've got a bad feeling about this
22:04
are they undercover is the empire
22:06
undercover
22:13
just spelling it wrong so to throw
22:15
everyone off i have no way
22:18
i'm turning off exit 333
22:25
i am not a skywalker
22:25
i would not do well back in there
22:28
it's a trap and after driving a little
22:30
bit further
22:32
the side of the mountain says e
22:40
that symbolizes elko e-l-k-o
22:40
where i have stopped for the evening and
22:43
got a hotel near
22:45
the view of these mountainous regions
22:48
snow-capped
22:50
regions
22:52
from here from when i departed this
22:54
morning in cheyenne
22:56
wyoming
22:58
665 miles
