this past sunday I finally drove up there.
we drove up there.
jake,
a friend, alissa
mom,
dad, and emmaus and me.
we stopped at the golden spike national historic site and saw where the transcontinental railroad met up. they had a wood burning train car and a coal buring train as well. we weren't going to pay to go into the site BUT the coal train had the number 119 painted on it!!! i had to go in. so we did. and we got some cute pics. i thought it was fun.
then we drove down a bumpy gravel road that lead us to a bumpier dirt road with some very large rocks in the way. i drove cause jake's back was having some problems. (not everyone can say i hurt my back while having a light saber fight!)
i did a good job manuvering through the big bumps. we drove and then...the jetty came into view! we chose to park the car a little ways out, cause we didn't want the car to get stuck. we were lucky it was a beautiful day and there hadn't been any rain....a muddy road would have really been unfortunate. so we walked, and i took pics then made our way down to the jetty. for those of you who don't know, its a rock formation that an artist did back in 1959 on the great salt lake. in the 70's the water level of the lake rose and the jetty was submerged in the water. the level has subsided now, and voila...the spiral jetty. (and it didn't smell!)
