Reno and the Bonneville Flats

A couple of days back we set off on our 2 day drive to San Francisco stopping by the Bonneville Flats and Reno. Here's a couple of pics of us at the flats. They're huge vast salt plains, which once were lakes but have dried out over probably thousands of years and the salt has crystalized. So its like a desert of hard crumbly salt. All the land speed records have been broken here. I think Top Gear have staged various stuff here too. It was so bright - you couldn't take your sunnies off. You're allowed to go for a spin on them so we tried to get a bit of speed but even 40mph felt so fast on them so we bottled it. Chris did some skids then we headed over to Reno.

Reno is like a mini Vegas and its where I bought my wedding dress!!!
