Ost-West-Konflikt

When I start working at the casino I go see around the place that I stay. It's a lot of casino there. I try to play the slot machine and I lose for 2 dollars so I don't want to play it anymore. At night, we have a party at my friend house and we go to ...
Salt Lake city to Jackson

Salt Flats
Setting off from Wendover towards Salt Lake City we could see that the Bonneville Salt Flats were on our left some distance from the road. Expecting to have a considerable detour before our journey south to Monument Valley we set off early. With world ...
Vroom vroom, or... how I learned to love salt
It's in the middle of nowhere, and it's like nowhere else on earth. Miles and miles of salt crystals, as far as the eye can see. When it isn't being blinded. Your eye, that is. The lovely sign describes how evaporation... blah blah ...

3rd day crossing the continent
