MR.HARVEY…aha,your right… rocks!!!
and PANOS,CANDY…did u feel the heat…:))))))))))))))

…only in BURNLAND…can I sing now?

Buenos Dias, señores y señoritas, hope you had a good warm rest last night.
Since you are in town and a motel with TV, car radio, etc. you have access to all the local weather forecasts and road traffic info around Salt Lake…

The big decision you will have to make this morning is just south of Provo on I-15 at Spanish Fork, whether to take the Hiway 6 cutoff over Soldier Summit to Helper and Price. There was some snow there last night and there are ice patches on the road at higher elevations. Once past Helper you would be in the clear, but given the overloaded Tortuga, the climbs involved, and yesterday’s trials you may want to play it safe.

See road conditions (both CURRENT and FORECAST) here:

The safer alternative is to stay on I-15 south past Nephi to Juab and Hiway 50 (from Scipio to Salina, then get on I-70 eastbound) with no mountain passes… along this whole route the road is dry and you should have clear sailing all the way down to the Four Corners with the roads dry all the way and no precip in the forecast.

There may be some slush on the roads around Salt Lake but once you’re south of Provo it’ll be clear and dry all the way.

Hasta luego, amigos y amigas!

Sidney yes ( Salt Lake City ) indeed

Glad to hear it!
Assuming you’ll be in Salt Lake tonight.
I’ll check in again early tomorrow AM.
Your snowball shot is the best picture to emerge from the trip so far.
Cheers,

you are getting quotes mixed up

PANOS, nice and great shot of the baseball/snowball player.

P.

Our snow tends to be cold and dry, usually impossible to pack into snowballs.

hey amigo, you are great on this and all is so so appreciated…..thank you

(Be sure to zoom in on the Elko area)

From Wendover on the NV-UT line to Salt Lake the temp now is above freezing and is forecast to reach the low 40s and you will definitely get some precip but it is likely to be rain through most of the day… but some of it may be light snow and there will be snow around Salt Like tonight. Utah road conditions here:

and for more detail, here:

For I-80 from the NV line to Salt Lake they are saying “Weather impact on travel- minimal” and ditto for the Salt Lake metro area

As before, cast an occasional glance at the NWS radar sites for Elko:

And for Salt Lake:

As for heading south from Salt Lake, as of now things look pretty good for the Hiway 6 cutoff from Spanish Fork on I-15 over to Helper and Price and Green River… and Utah DOT says the road is dry and snow is not forecast, but I would check the Utah State DOT website again when you are near Provo before making that decision and I wouldn’t do it in the dark… it goes over a pass and also through a lot of canyon country… you don’t want to miss the spectacular scenery.

I hope this is helpful… don’t mean to be a nanny, so apologies if this is all redundant or overkill. Drive safely, stay warm… and have a blast!

Cheers,

David, I think once you get with your Family in colorado everything will change….you’ll get in the zone.
I remember seeing some great shots in instagram during a recent family reunion.

Panos should have read the road-sign a little more carefully before he ditched Tortuga…and suffered David’s wrath! :)

You have set out on this adventure with “American Family” pictures as a starter, and your “Off For A Family Drive” album you shot a while :) ago.. but perhaps this will be or become something completely different.. or just be the end of it, this might not work as it is.. crossing the whole of the USA in one month / six weeks AND getting pictures can not be it though.. doing a couple states each time, multiple times, that might work out..

I wouldn’t worry though.. you’re out there doing it, beats the heck out of being in here talking about it!!

“I am shooting whatever happens around me. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Same damn thing I do just about every day with my blog.

I have no doubt, though… when you are done, you will have your pictures.

You’re just not the kind of guy not to get your pictures.
