Having crossed the Great Salt Lake Desert on the Dwight D. Eisenhower (and partially Lincoln) Highway and entered Nevada at the old atomic testing sites at Wendover, he had a sudden moment of clarity and high-tailed it back across to the relative civilization of Salt Lake City. In memory of old US 40.

And I thought Florida roads were straight and flat.
Everything east of Salt Lake City is mountainous terrain.
