Day 5: Provo, Utah to Reno, Nevada

Yesterday was undeniably the most trying day of the trip for everybody, but we made it through.  The exhaustion of repeated long days on the road was beginning to set in.  Not to mention - people in middle-of-nowhere Nevada are weird.    We were all relieved to finally arrive at our hotel in Reno and settle in for a restful evening.   Some of the highlights from the day include seeing the Great Salt Lake, a brief stop on the Bonneville Salt Flats, and spotting dust devils  along the side of the road.
