Bonneville Speedway

Yesterday, as we were driving down I80 we seen the signs for the Bonneville Speedway in Utah, a few miles from the Nevada line.   We decided to have lunch there.   After lunch we drove the camper onto the actual 10 mile speedway for 3 miles and turned around and came back.  Then drove on to Battle Mountain, Nevada.  We stayed at the Flying J campground and casino.  They gave us $2 coupon for the casino, so we found out it was senior night and the casino gave us $4 more.  It took almost 30 minutes to loose it all.  So much for our nights entertainment.

Just learned a valuable lesson.   You should not walk or ride a bike on the low growing ground cover in this campground.  It is some kind of cacti.  It sticks to shoes and gets in the camper and then I step in it.  OUCH!!!   I got to go and fix a flat tire on my bike also thanks cacti.
