great salt lake!


today kayla and i traveled north to the great salt lake. when we were little we used to go with our family and catch brine shrimp and so we wanted to relive this tradition. it took us like an hour to drive up there and once we got there we had to pay to park since it was a state park. right when i was about to pull away the ranger lady was like OH NO DONT SQUISH THE POOR BEETLE!! so she had to steer my car around this little beetle in the road... haha it was pretty funny. so we drove over to the beach and walked SOO far in this death hot rocky sand. so we were going to the water and the ground just looked completely black, and as we approached the black sand every step we took a million bugs would just fly everywhere cause they were just covering the ground. it was soo gross. we finally got in the water and caught some brine shrimp in our water bottle and then we wanted to see how far we could walk out. so we walked out pretty far and we wanted to try and float so we did.. it was SOO COOL! we just floated and we didnt even have to kick or anything the only gross part was the surface of the water was covered in gross dead bugs and the water was SO salty. after we walked back through the nasty bugs and the hot sand we went to the buffalo island grill and had a buffalo burger. its a hamburger, but made out of buffalo meat! its pretty good. well then we went home. that was our exciting day at the great salt lake :)
