We're back into the desert. But the big thing is the mountains. I had no idea Utah is FILLED with mountains. You go over one range, see a valley then look beyond to the next range. Then… again, and again.

Yesterday I think I heard my first coyote. I sounded like a dog, but a lot more yipy. I was nervous about that because cars are kind of sparse on Route 6 here. They were coming about one every three minutes yesterday. A little more today.

Anyway I think I heard another coyote today, but folks said don't worry, they'll run away. That comforted me - a little.

After going over a fairly big range yesterday, the world opened to a wide and very pretty valley.

Looks like they get more rain over this side because there are more trees and grass. It was almost fun to walk through this section.
