Now we get to the part of the trip where: (a) Ilsa drove (sometimes in the snow), (b) The Doctor worked, (c) we found a doggie park each day in the city we got to for the night, and (d) we were kinda ready for the trip to be over. We'd hoped to head down to Vegas -- we just didn't have the energy (especially with me needing to work and Ilsa doing almost all of the driving).
First, though, we went to flagship store of Cabela's, the outdoor superstore. The following image captures the store pretty well.
During the travel today (or it might have been the previous day -- I'm writing this a few weeks after the fact), we had a funny thing happen. I was on the phone for a conference call to a prospective vendor. It was a conference call, and we were in the middle of nowhere. Cell phone reception was iffy. I had two phones (iPhone and Blackberry) -- so I dialed into the conference call with both phones, since they are on different carriers. After 20 minutes, the primary line I'd called in on dropped, and they started saying -- "oh, did we lose dave?", and I responded "yes, we lost one of my phones" -- they were quite surprised!
We got to Salt Lake City, found a doggie park for the pups, and then went out to a great dinner at this mole place called the Red Iquana. It was quite popular & crowded -- and deservedly so. It was delicious -- and a great surprise in SLC. We were getting quite happy with the road-food -- we were batting nearly 1000 for dinners on the trip -- let's review:
4/3 -- Ilsa's brother's homemade sushi
4/4 -- (forgettable place in Indy)
4/5 -- Prairie Grass Cafe
4/6 -- Coq au Vin by The Doctor's step mom (forgot to mention this earlier - yummy!)
4/7 -- Dude's Steak House
4/8 -- The Red Iquana
How could we top this?
