 Continuing
in Arizona, but getting close to Utah on I-15 North. |
 Still
on I-15 NB. |
 After
miles and miles of sharp curves and mountains, the speed limit has gone back
up to 75 m.p.h. |
 There
is an exit for the state line port of entry. |
 Let's
see... who gets to stop?? |
 The
port of entry is right on the state line. |
 I-15
has a name. |
 Skiing
is very important to the state of Utah. |
 Well,
at least Utah has an interesting state highway shield. |
 I-15
through St. George, Utah. |
 Interesting
name for a town. |
 Suddenly,
Utah gets grassy and more like the plains. |
 Old-school
BGS versus new BGS. |
 There
are some snow-capped mountains off to the north! |
 I
was in Bryce Canyon in 1998. But that was way before I started taking
pictures and posting them here. |
 But
because of the 1998 trip, I feel a personal connection to US 89. |
 Still
on I-15 NB. |
 Hey,
now we're pretty close to snow! |
 Wow,
what a hideous I-15 shield. |
 Ahh,
Cove Fort. Home of the western terminus of Interstate 70! |
 Some
things to do on I-15 in Cove Fort. |
 And
here it is! The western end of I-70. It goes all the way to
Baltimore, Maryland, from here. |
 I
guess this is the first sign on I-70... a ramp speed sign. |
 But
this is really the beginning of the interstate right here. Historic
Cove Fort is the first exit on I-70 East. |
 This
would be the first EB I-70 shield. |
 Ooh,
some big mountains right by I-70! |
 Some
pretty impressive rock right here! |
 US
89 hooks up with I-70 in central Utah. And there is a nice cutout US
89 shield. |
 US
89 does go to Salt Lake, but surely not the fastest way. |
 Wow,
413 miles to civilization! That's pretty daunting, but luckily we make
up for it with fantastic scenery along the way. |
 Kinda
cool. |
 Oooooooh! |
 Hey,
the rocks are yellow and blue! |
 Wide
open nothing! It's great! |
 Just
wait, folks. It gets better! |
 See,
there's even a turn off for people who want to see the rock formations. |
 It
gets bushy out here. |
 Whoa
there! |
 Nice. |
 They
don't designate I-70 a scenic road for nothing! This is one beautiful
drive! Right now, we're descending a mountain that has been cut to
allow I-70 to penetrate it. |
 Now
the rocks are smoother. |
 US
6 is everywhere. We'll catch up with it later on its trip to Cape Cod.
It also goes through the Chicago area. |
