Another early start. Stopped for breakfast at Denny's in Grand Junction, CO. My eye has started to hurt again so I called the Doctor and was told to increase the frequency of the drops.
Utah has really nice rest areas. Frequent, clean, and usually located at a particularly scenic spot. Though, I've got to admit, it's hard to find a spot in Utah that isn't scenic. At least along I-70.
But we finally came to the end of the road at I-15 and, from there to Las Vegas, it was pretty much just desert. As we were coming in to Las Vegas, in the usual rush hour traffic, I noticed a column of smoke to the west. Later we saw on TV that a British Airways 777 had caught fire while getting ready for take off from Las Vegas Airport. Sounds like the pilot narrowly averted a real disaster.
We stayed at the Best Western Plus in Henderson. Lovely room but no restaurant. Not wanting to drive anymore, we walked a few blocks to a small casino. Bad call. The food was not good, nor was the service.
Oh, well, tomorrow we should be home. And my eye is no longer hurting.
