Day 3: (08/11)
Started off from Reno at 6:10. Got on I-80 and drove all the way east. Stopped over at Wendover for a quick lunch at Arby’s. Turned on I-15 North at Salt Lake City, and then on Hwy 26 East at Idaho Falls, up to the town of Jackson Hole. It was over 9 pm when we got to Jackson (we lost one hour crossing the time zones). After driving for 14 hours and 834 miles, the most impressive sight of the town was the red sign of “no vacancy” on the office windows of the motels. We almost gave up hope of finding rooms for that night, while we needed a bed badly. Our friend suggested we sleep in the car, or seek help from churches. But I insisted we go door to door to check on every motel we came across. Finally, at a Day’s Inn, we found a room.
