The piedmont Kilns passage Control, situated between
huge stone eggs, was greeted with quizzical looks by the
approaching crews. what looked like the work of extraterrestrials were in fact charcoal kilns built in 1869. These
furnaces were fed by the vast stands of timber from the
nearby Uinta Mountains. However, today, there is barely a
tree for miles around. we had another 130km of this stark,
yet captivating, landscape to drive ahead of our night halt in
the Black Mountain resort, Heber City, a western satellite of
the Utah State Capital, Salt lake City.
Here we said hello to owen Turner who has arrived to
take over sweep duties from Jack Amies. Before being able
to check-in and unpack, owen was straight into action in the
car park, with many cars feeling the toll of the thousands
of kilometres we’ve driven since Anchorage. Tonight, as
usual, the crews were seen tending to their cooling systems,
suspension and brakes.
