On the road to Reno, via Salt Lake City

The view aboard a northbound Greyhound bus, traveling I-15 through the Virgin River Gorge in the extreme northwest corner of Arizona.

Fun times in Salt Lake City! A big ole' stein of Uinta Brewing's Trader IPA, left. Only $4.75 at Cheers To You. A 12-inch PG at Sicilia Pizza and Kitchen, center, with pepperoni, Italian sausage, onion, green pepper, tomato. The tender crust exhibits a crisp bottom, though it does soften after the first couple of slices. The rind, however, does retain a nice crisp. Finely crumbled Italian sausage is quite zesty, while the veggies retain some crunch, and the sauce is quite tangy and seasoned. The star on this build is the Italian sausage; its very good! Coffee güd, right, at Nostalgia Café. A small cup garners a free refill.

Left, when your train is late and you slept like shit, there's always coffee. Center, Dog Grins While Blurry Old Lady Tries To Sit In Chair. The tears of a clown, right. Normally lit by dusk, the Circus Circus Reno sign appeared to be a victim of evening high winds.
