July 2006. During our road trip to Idaho for John's brother's wedding, we stopped in for a look at the Great Salt Lake in Utah from a place called Antelope Island. It's not far from the freeway, and there's a causeway, so you can drive right onto it. It's absolutely lovely and well worth the stop. Quiet and tranquil and a feast for the digital camera. We waded a bit in the lake and walked gingerly across the immense and at times prickly beach and drove around soaking in the sights for a couple of hours. The island has a Buffalo herd, and some other larger animals, but we didn't see any of those from the car, just lots and lots of birds. Hopefully someday I'll get a chance to go back for a more extensive visit, do a little back-country hiking, see some buffalo!
