the convoy of 4 trailers with 5 Willys stopped in Elko for the night and now we are on the move again. Yesterday we stopped off at the salt flats to look around and get some pics  Hawkeye has most of my footage but here are some teasers:

I guess they don't want you tracking dirt out onto the salt.....LOL    BW
It is NOT a Jeep Willys! It is a Willys jeep.

Happy Trails! Good-bye, Good Luck, and May the Good Lord Take a Likin' to You!

"Men in Black". Perfect desert color if you are cold. I have to ask, why the foot wash? Land speed record area, but I never knew they had to wash their feet first! LOL  

Anxious to see the trail you guys run. Have fun ! John

That salt is messy stuff, and any water out there is super salty.  It's nice to have a place to rinse it off.


Looks great guys, can't wait to see the rest of the trip.

It sticks to your feet (and everything else just like snow) I was washing salt out of the underside of the Dodge 6-8 months later even after spending $10 at the carwash before leaving town in Wendover.
