Return to the airway marker.

We needed to get out of the house and away from the neighborhood yesterday afternoon.  We headed out to the Tooele valley and hiked up to the airway marker we hiked to a few years ago.  Only problem this time?  Biting sand flies!!  Aka, noseeums!  Horrible!!  Bug spray doesn't work and the more hair you have, the more they bite.  I was eaten alive...

Crossing the Milford branch mainline.

The dog was delighted to go on an adventure.  Skyler was too.

Tooele valley.  Everything is SO green from all the moisture.

Can you see the airway marker?

The Great Salt Lake level appeared to be higher than last year.  Note the gulls in flight.
