It became apparent that going to Yellowstone was not in our budget so we decided to head west again.  We got on I-80 and headed toward Salt Lake City, UT.  The desert in western Wyoming was awsome...I can't really do it justice by describing it, so here are some pictures.

...later...

We pulled off the road at Devil's Gate to check out the view.  There was a little circular path with plaques explaining the Mormon handcart pioneers.  I guess they had it pretty bad...most of them died of cholora.  The view from the path was pretty cool.  There were a lot of large flys and locusts that were attracted to us.  After going to that rattlesnake display the other day, everytime we herd a buzz from one of the bugs we thought that there was a snake around. 

It seems like the closer you got to Salt Lake City, the more you read about Mormons, even at roadside rock formations.
