| June 2008 | Antelope Island Great Salt Lake |
While heading south from the Golden Spike National Historic Site on our way to Mohab UT, we wanted to stop and see the Great Salt Lake. Having seen it many time (from the air), I alway wanted to stand in it. We took a side trip for an hour to Antelope Island to see the lake. Five hours later, we were on our way again. This was an unexpected treat. Lots of wildlife to see and yes, I did get to stand in the lake. Well worth the time. They do have some primative campsites available. |  |

One of the best collections of railroad rolling stock you will find. |
