Although fossils sites and museums are fun, Asa's main interest is motorized vehicles which he reminded us of a few times on this trip. Our progress westward took us right by Bonneville Speedway, site of the land speed record track. We ventured off into the slat flats and, although they weren't racing today, we had a great time pretending the Jeep was a rocket car and took it up to 85mph. Asa was all smiles. The rocket car museum isn't slated to be completed for another few years, so we were content with just viewing the site. Much to Asa's relief, we have other historic, automotively-significant sites in mind on this trip.

Too bad you didn't see how fast your land yacht could go while pulling the jeep. :)
