and the Big Hiway with a few cars on it is actually known as I-80/ interstate I-80 which goes East & west.

to the west will take you over to Wendover, Utah a gambling town that fairly nice, and over to a somewhat Famous Airport, which at 1 time housed the Enola Gay and, "Fatman & Little Boy" Atom Bomb.

I used to travel back forth across that very section of interstate I-80, back in the 80's and again in 1997 &1998 between Kansas city and scaremento, when I was truckin.

Actually theres a rest area going west bound you can pull off into and have a beautiful view of the Salt Lake Desert and the mountains surrounding it, quite scenic too !!

to the West of that is BONNEVELLE SALT FLATS, Racing speedway !

Beautiful country out there tho !

Kinda sad about the Enola Gay these days, sitting disassembled in what is essentially a barn, with no plans to place it on display anywhere.

Like it or not, the aircraft played a huge part in the world's history and should be available for study/viewing by all. Just my opinion of course, and i understand the Smithsonian doesn't have room to display it at the moment.
I've spent a week in the Aviation Museum portion of the Smithsonian when I was young, and was totally awestruck! Amazing place! Definately a must for any Aviation enthusiast!

Have fun all!

Have fun, fly high, far, and free!
