Rocket adventure day, part 3.

We continue our adventure at the Great Salt Lake.

Electric light.

Someone dropped their apple. 

"Island" hopping.

The girls and Aurora the dog.

Almost lunar landscape.

Skyler pulled his overalls up to wade in the water.

Pelican bone. (!)

The kids playing in the water.

Great lighting.

Why do the kids love to wade in puddles?

Even though it looks ocean like, the water is only inches deep.

Brine shrimp.

In the bed of my truck.  His "secret cave".

Arianna and Harper got to be "stuck" where Artemis was truly stuck.

Look a the reflections!

Enjoying a "delicious" apple from Arianna's Mom.

Aurora and Artemis.

Mini Jetty!

Weird algae.

Reflections.

Surreal.

Skyler and Artemis.

Clear water with dog prints.

Bird remains.

Skyler Jetty!

Old foundation near the parking area.

The children.

Having some snacks.

The sisters moved this piece of wood from the lake to the shore.

Perspective.

I ran out of time and bandwidth for the Transcontinental Railroad pics today.  Tomorrow...

Rocket adventure day, part 2.

We continue on our adventure around the Spiral Jetty.

Piece of the trestle from the Southern Pacific Railroad's causeway.

Old growth Douglas Fir.



Imagine a picture of a snake here.  Blogger sucks!

Basalt rocks as far as you can see.

As we hiked higher, the view only got better.

Mommy finally got her wish to see the Spiral Jetty!

The kids were free!

They climbed all over the mountain.

It was a little concerning knowing that snakes were about.

Incredible!

Southeast view from atop the mountain.

Mommy was SO happy1  Note that you can just barely make out the Union Pacific Railroad's causeway on the horizon.

Thirsty!

Aurora the dog was thirsty too!

She was really thirsty!

Headed toward the beach.

Lunch spot on a rock.

Up close at the Jetty.

Kids walking out on the rocks.

Spiral Jetty.

Kids on the Jetty.

Artemis got stuck in quicksand!  I had to pull her out by her boot straps!

Part 3 tomorrow, water fun, bird bones, and the Transcontinental Railroad roadbed.
