Day 6: We made our first stop at Bonneville this morning. It was impressive in size, but there wasn't anything going on.

I know you'll ask, so yes, I did taste it. Tastes just like salt. The salt must evaporate the moisture out during the day because the surface was covered with small salt growths. It made the surface crunchy to walk on. The salt packed similar to snow and took some effort to clean off our shoes.

Most of the day was spent making our way across Nevada. The scenery was somewhat softer than Utah with less formations and more hill type mountains. We still had a fair amount of elevation changes but seemed to end up about where we started by the time we reached the California border.
We started our descent in California and at times it was quite dramatic. We made it through some of the valleys, covered in fields of growth. Most of it seemed to be alfalfa, but one field was sunflowers and it was a sight to see.
We kept on and made it to San Francisco! We crossed the Golden Gate Bridge just as the fog was rolling in, so we didn't get to see the top of it.

We drove around the city, drove down the famous crooked part of Lombard street, and took in the various sights. We saw the street and cable cars, but didn't get a chance to ride any of them.

The place was crowded and the day was getting long so we headed for a place to spend the night. Found a place just south of the San Francisco airport, right on the bay. Great view down toward the city and the planes land across the bay, so we get to see them land.

Yosemite tomorrow.
