From the book Dune by Frank Herbert. When the Prince Leto Atreides finally has his epiphany he shouts "Father, the sleeper has awakened". I, on the other hand may still be awaiting mine.

Rick taking a sip of h2o. Sadly there were no buffalo. I forgot to tell you that after his buffalo buddy sent out the word we were mobbed by them in Yellowstone. It wasn't by chance those critters turned up. They were looking for Rick.
Here is why, it was under water. There was a family there and the dad was taking pictures of his kids standing in the water so I took advantage of that and thought it gave the picture a neat perspective.
Yep, here we are. I wanted to see if I could enter my bike and make a speed run but nobody was racing.
Here I am. The salt streched for many miles, like a hundred or so. We saw 2 Morton Salt plants as we drove. People also made signs by arranging rocks. Didn't get any pics of them, sorry.
This is where we spent most of our day, in the middle of nowhere. There were some pretty scenic places but as we were haulin' butt, we didn't stop much. Lots more of this though.
This is where you get the stuff if you are ever in the Utah desert just West of Salt Lake City. Tell 'em Rick and Bob say hi.
A refreshing beverage purchased in a store/gas station run by a lovely oriental couple in the Utah desert. It was grass jelly with lychee juice and it was very refreshing, I am not kidding. You all know I like to try new and interesting things and this was one of them. Imagine finding this in Utah.
Here is Coalville. As we ate dinner last night we sat and talked to some of the local folk who all knew everyone in town. A really great experience.
As we travel through America we are getting to experience the heartland in a very rewarding way. We have met many wonderful people and had local comestibles, like raspberry milkshakes so delicious they would bring tears to your eyes. Cool cars everywhere too.
