Salt Lake City, Antelope Island, and the Great Salt Lake


Thursday we left Moab and drove 191 into Utah. Canyon drives, curvy roads, lot's of sagebrush, and tumbleweeds. We ate lunch at a Walmart and picked up supplies. We have found that the state park reservations office are of no help while planning each day. If you call the park itself or the lady at the booth, they are really in charge. We camped at Antelope Island SP in Syracuse UT. It is in the Great Salt Lake and they have reintroduced Buffalo, Elk, and Longhorn Sheep. We drove the island road and toured the Fielding Garr Ranch which is a historic sheep ranch. Afterwards we drove back Salt Lake City to tour the Tabernacle and watch the choir practice. The large Tabernacle is under construction, but we got to see the rest. The Morman's give us the tour of the conference center and we ate dinner at the mall. After the choir practice we drove by the Utah State capital building and pulled over on the side of the road to watch the sunset. A couple of Elk walked out on the hill beside us. As we sat out that night we heard the coyote's and owl.
