Across the USA Part 2

After a night in Nebraska, we entered Wyoming. It had started to snow in western Nebraska, and when we hit Cheyenne, we found I-80 closed to the west. We hung around Cheyenne for a few hours and watched a movie, and in the afternoon they opened the interstate. We drove to Ogden Utah, and stopped for the night.

In the morning we drove to the Golden Spike National Historic Park northwest of Salt Lake City. This was an interesting park, marking the spot where the first transatlantic rail line was connected.

After looking around the visitor center, we drove the trail where the workers cut the old rail line through the rocks to get to the meeting point.

On the way out of the park we came across a Northrop Grumman site that had a rocket graveyard outside. We looked around a bit before heading into Idaho. We stopped in Boise for the night, then started driving to Bend in the morning.
