BONNEVILLE ROAD TRIP 2012
We planned this trip for one year and it finally happened.  Todd Haas and Dave H drove up from Florida through Austin, TX.  We then headed out through West TX, New Mexico, Colorado and finally into Utah.  The trip took a week for me and just shy of two weeks for Dave and Todd.  Hope you enjoy!!
