TWB June 17th 2019 Experience: Day 14- Driving into Salt Lake City!

Day 14: The Salt Flats

Hey guys, here is another update from the Sneezy’s!!! Our day started at 5:30 this morning. Some of us had a hard time getting up out of our warm sleeping bags because of the 40 degree weather. After V rounded everyone up, we left Lee Vining, CA, and began the journey to Salt Lake City! On the bus, campers were treated to watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop and The Goonies. Meanwhile on the van, everyone took their daily morning nap (as usual!). For breakfast this morning we had bagels with cream cheese and fruit smilesJ, with apple juice or fruit punch. All the girls and some of the guys have found an interest in making friendship bracelets (perfect for our long drive!). We took a break at the Flying J to use the restrooms and fuel the vans right before lunch. For lunch we had sandwiches with a variety of toppings, including peanut butter, nutella, marshmallow fluff, and jelly. For our sides we had grapes, cookies, and pretzels. We finally arrived in Utah in the afternoon and took a pit stop at the salt flats. It’s a TWB tradition to lick the salt when we get to the salty land. The salt didn’t have a pleasant taste and the smell was atrocious! We made it out alive and made a pit stop at Wally World for the cooks to gather dinner and breakfast for tomorrow. We arrived in Tooele, Utah at 8:15pm. For dinner we had delicious turkey wraps with chips, celery, carrots, and patriotic cookies. After our delicious meal and quick showers, we had a group meeting and had time to celebrate Georgia Queen’s birthday before heading to bed.
