Today I drove through Nevada and Idaho on my way to Yellowstone National Park. It was long, and admittedly, kind of boring.
Almost every shop I went past was at least in part a Casino, and it seems like road laws don't apply in this part of the world. Even with 80 mile an hour speed limits (over 130km/h) people were still speeding past me!! (to be fair, I was only going 120)
I stopped a few times, for food, petrol, sightseeing or just a pee break, and Nevada definitely lived up to it's gambling name. There were pokies in every single shop I stopped at!! Even the petrol stations!!
The road was interesting enough, but not for the hours I was driving. The salt flats were cool for 15 minutes, but not for the 2 hours it took to drive through them, and the mountain ranges all blurred into one another after hours of continual peaks and valleys.
I feel like I'm a bit spoilt for amazing sights, and have no right to complain, but in such an amazing part of the world, you would think they would be capitalising on them rather than "senior's specials" at casinos every 20km.
Tomorrow, hopefully getting to Yellowstone for the night xx
