On the road: Utah

There are wildfires along Route 15 south of Salt Lake. Although you can get cell reception all through the Rockies (including tunnels through the mountains) there is nothing, nothing at all on 70 through Utah until -- well I don't know yet as I have yet to see anything. There is effectively no speed limit here, as there are no people, or cars.

It is 105 degrees out. It looks like the surface of the moon.
