Southwest or Southeast?

From Boise we had to make a choice, southwest towards Reno and then down the California/Nevada border, or southeast to Utah and then down some other route than I-15 (seen enough of that road already).  Weather forecast for storms moving into California so...

Overnighted at the Brigham City rest area (41.55194 -112.06932) because we were drowsy and Utah wants drowsy drivers to pull over and get some rest.  Nice people.  

Next day (Oct 17) we turned left at Ogden and skirted around Salt Lake City via I-84 and Highway 40 towards Duchesne.  Then back southwest towards Price, and southeast on 191.  Boy, the lengths some people will go to to avoid Salt Lake City (aka the city of eternal road construction), eh?  Overnight at a gravel turnout at Mile Marker 270 (39.37523 -110.40170).
