Pony Express Trail (Utah) 658a

Further west on the Pony Express Trail, it became very dry, very sparse in terms of evidence of human habitation, and some road signs were missing. In such areas I tend to get anxious about 'what if my car broke down'. At one point, as I was getting increasingly anxious, I noticed a cloud of dust in the distance and then saw a truck coming towards me -- it turned out to be a UPS delivery truck! The driver told me that there was a collection of farms just west of where I was -- and remarked on the antelopes that she'd seen out that day.
