Winamucca Nevada to Park City, Utah.
08:53pm PST

Found some more pics from last night,.. .

Got up this morning early and set out, trying to hit the Salt Flats before it gets too cranking hot.

Today's Pics:

This thing is FOUR INCHES LONG. It's eating one of it's compadres. It's one of several billion of them. The highway this morning was BLACK with these things. The women folk were freaked.

More ghoulish insect cannibalism.

Here you see Deborah embarrassing the 12 year old Kaya Lindsay at the border between Nevada and Utah.

Spence and Kenna filming Deb in an insert for Deb's Thesis project in the middle of the Great Salt Flats.

Kenna holds the reflector above the massive reflector that is the Salt Flats.

Found a really weird old, almost abandoned turn of the (20th) century palace called "The Great Saltair". The restored stairway was impressive, but the rest of it looked like a crack house. Very strange. You had to almost step over rebar and old heaps of plaster to get to the gift shop.

We made our way down to the shores of the salt lake, which was strewn with dead and bloating sea birds and hosted many billions of flys that swarmed at ankle level.

The kids made a cool game of stirring them up and chasing a giant wave of them up and down the stinky beach... just don't fall on your face...

I know I'm obsessing,... but there were freaking BILLIONS of these things...

Kaya making a wave of bugs...

Deb took this shot and judging by the focus, I think maybe it's time for some "alone time" with Deb, hmmmm?

Left the great stinking salt lake and found Park City Utah in the mountains,... very cool place. Kenna and I await the fireworks.

Dad's looking a little manic tonight,... no smokes for a few weeks now...

My first fireworks photographs. This is the only one out of about 200 that wasn't blurry... gah.
