KAYAKING ON THE GSL

We finally did something we have been talking about
doing all summer!
Last Saturday, my son Darin, a friend Jay and I
went yaking on the great salt lake.
What a beautiful day to be on the water.
The temperature was just right,
no brine flies or wind.

The water was just like glass the whole day.

We traveled a few miles from the marina
around the end of Antelope Island
to the west side where we did a little hiking
to find a geocache up on the side of the hill.
Then we returned to the marina.
We traveled a little over 7 miles
and were a little tired
when we finally got the yaks on top of the car.
We then went to the visitors center for a visit.

As we were leaving,
we saw a very large buffalo walking up the side of the road.
He crossed the road,
and went on his way as though he owned the place.
(For all we know, maybe he does.)
We weren't about to question his authority.

After, we found one more geocache before we left the island
at a spot near a memorial dedicated to a helicopter crew
who crashed into the lake and were killed.

All in all, it was a wonderful day,
and one thing that made it extra nice was that
nobody rolled their yak
or had to make a wet exit in the salt water.
That would not be fun!
