Greyhound bus trip through northern U.S.: (8) Wasatch Range Utah to Rawlins, Wyoming 2010-08-29

On a clear summer day, a Greyhound headed east from Salt Lake City continues its climb along Interstate 80 through the canyon in the Wasatch Range before finally reaching the plateau to enter Wyoming for its stops, as announced by the driver @ 9:12, at Evanston (elevation 6700 ft / 2000 m: as suggested by the stiff plateau-country breeze blowing on the dog walkers @ 9:40).

After this brief pause, the bus continues for an hour and half east to the next major town on Interstate 80, Rock Springs (@ 11:10), where a 30-minute meal break is had at the Golden Arch.

The meal break over and the trip east through noticeably drier and less rugged terrain than the Wasatch canyon having resumed (@ 11:55), one passenger underscores the my-way-or-the-highway approach to customer service delegated by Greyhound to its drivers.

Just before reaching the town of Rawlins near the continental divide, mositure and instability in the air brings on a few cold sprinkles (@ 13:05 to 14:50).
