Thanks for the shots! Kind of interesting to consider the landscape from your NW perspective. I grew up in Arizona and then spent almost 30 years living in Utah after I left Phoenix to go to college before moving to the NW, so you are driving though territory I know well but got tired of after too many years of dirt and rocks.
The "125 mph" shot reminded me of why you might want to go that fast - so you can get somewhere more interesting
I have spent far too many hours crossing the various routes across Nevada back in the days when we got stuck with 55mph speed limits and those roads can redefine boring. Worse yet, I have done several cross Nevada trips in a Volkswagon bus so you have the "opportunity" to slow down for the mountains instead of grinning at the prospect of a twisty section of the highway.
At the same time, this is new terrain from your perspective and it's kind of fun to see it considering your point of view.
Thanks for sharing and happy trails!
