Roadside warnings: dust storms and strong winds

There's a reason that we don't hear too much about Idaho (other than for potatoes) and Utah.  There isn't anything here. 
The major interstate highway runs along a valley.  It pretty much follows the old Oregon Trail-the route the wagon trains took when they headed west.  You've probably seen an old western movie about it. 

The road is flat, although it can be at quite high elevations, and mountains run along either side.  For miles.  There is nothing else. 
On the plus side, gas is cheap in Utah.  We paid 3.55 a gallon.  That's much less than the 4.24 in California. 

Last night's campsite in Snowville, Utah

Along the highway we saw a sign that read, "Deer Migration Route Next 10 Miles."  Sure enough, we saw them.  First we saw a large herd grazing in a field off the highway.  Then, as we took our campground exit, we saw more.  

We drove 1.5 miles to our campground and saw 12 deer carcasses within that stretch alone. All in various states of decomposition.  Yuck.
