Beyond MMW

[James T]

After the awards dinner...we where back on the road. A 5 min. stop in Reno then back on the hwy.

We made it all the way to Lovelock NV before stopping for the night. It was off again early Sat. morning on Hwy 80 crossing Nevada.


With daytime temps in the 90's ..the fuel pump was giving us issues again. We stopped in Elko for lunch and let the pump cool off in the only shade we could find.

Another gas stop in Wendover NV befor crossing the flats.





Stopped for a photo op at the famed Bonneville Salt Flats, proving grounds for the Land Speed Record mini

[James T]

Hang a left at Salt Lake City and up to Logan UT for the night.



Logan sits at the base of the Bear River Range on Hwy 89. If you find youself there...swing by Jacks open fire pizza...we highly recomend the "chuckwagon" mmmmmmm good!

[James T]

After a 38 mile climb up the Logan River (camp sites along the river where closed due to flooding from excessive snow run off) you find yourself over looking Bear lake.


A new visiters center and an awesome view

Around the west side of Bear Lake and into the south east corner of Idaho ...for a few miles

Still following Hwy 89 into Jackson Hole WY for lunch.



Our "Cool little car" drew just as much attention from the visitors as the antler arches in town square




even this guy had to stop and point it out to his son

[James T]

we decided to take our time in the Grand Teton Natl. Park and camp there for the night.

[James T]

We camped at the Lizzard Creek camp ground at the north end of Jackson Lake. We didnt see any lizzards but there where fresh black bear prints on the beach when we got up to watch the sun rise

South enterance of the park



Snake River falls



Snow still lines the road going over the Continental Divide at just over 7,000 ft....thats lower the the autocross at MMW

[James T]

We worked our way up the East side or the park. Stopping along the way to take some pics





We even got a rare chance to see Boo Boo.

[James T]

Then on to Mammoth Hot Springs and the North entrance.




We met up with the rest of our family in Emigrant MT. for the remander of the week.

Looks like a great road trip in a Mini. I am looking forward to ours in August, though its not in a Mini.
