ANTELOPE ISLAND STATE PARK/ THE GREAT SALT LAKE

So I haven't updated this since January. I'm sick of snow now, between December and January it snowed 48 days. Were up to 478" and Snowbird is planning on skiing through June. I had 2 snow nights, which is where we are trapped up at work due to heavy snow and high avalanche danger, so this requires me working 20 hrs straight , and 28 hrs in 36 hrs. Rough stuff

Anyways, so I decided to go somewhere where there WASN'T snow. Antelope Island is a huge island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake, and I had never seen the lake so it felt like a good day to do so.

Facts:

• Its believed people inhabited this place over 6,000 years ago
• In 1893 they introduced 12 Bison to the island, now the heard exceeds 500
• Home to some the oldest rocks found on earth at 2.7 billion years old
• The Great Salt Lake used to be 20,000 square miles and is now 1,700.
• The Salt Lake is 75 mi. long and 28 mi. long and only 33 ft deep
  

This is the quietest beach I've ever been on. No waves made it kind of eerie

These rocks in the next few shots are over 550 million years old.
