OFF TO DENVER

Onced again i'll be off on the road again. After spending two days here in Salt Lake I think i'm ready to go. Its not a very big town in terms of what you can do, although I would have loved to visit the biggest open pit mine. The mine is for mostly copper and apart from the Great Wall of China it is the only visible man made creation that can be seen from the space shuttle.

Also I didn't actually see the salt lake which is about 30mins away. It is 6 times saltier than the ocean but why?... because it is a dead end lake and water evaporates from it as fast as it flows into it from streams.

Anyway I have a 4am train to catch tommorow morning to Denver so its going to tiring!

By the way today i've been away from OZ for exactly a month! It feels like alot longer though. Although time flies when your travelling.

This is the lounge car of an Amtrak train, it is where I spend most of my time during the day while travelling on the trains. Sometimes I just sit here for hours on end listening to my mp3 music (thanks Maryann for all the cool songs you downloaded) and just watching the endless scenery passing by me. Its absolutely amazing. Sometimes I imagine I'm back in oz and i'm just in a 3D Imax Theater show or something travelling through the US and that if I wanted to I can just step outside and go home! Snow capped mountains, endless icy cold rivers, dessert storms in the dessert, this is some of the scenery you can expect to see, all in one day sometimes!
