July 3 - Spiral Something

My friend, Tami, organized a group to go see a local wonder called the Spiral Jetty. We got a late start waiting for one person. But broke out to three cars and headed North. We were driving up I-15 next to this very attractive commuter...Annette decided to share something with him.

We passed up the exit the first time, because we had two different directions to the attraction. After getting separated from the lead car and driving on a dirt road for many miles, we decided to just abandon the vehicles and head forward into the unknown on foot. We had been traveling for hours, but losing daylight without flashlights. But we had come so far and it was so close.

In the dark...with the mosquitoes...

The two lasting survivors wishing you luck...because we didn't have any.
We are not found. Watch Out!

Back in the car. Recap.

We might have not made it to the jetty, but we did see something like 26 jack rabbits along they way. Here is one of our friends.

As we were making it back to the car, our lead vehicle who took a wrong turn finally found us. Instead of heading back with us, they carried on...and drove...I repeat drove the rest of the way down the hill and around the corner to the Spiral Jetty. They played, took pictures...made it home around 1am. Hard to believe we made it that far...but no cigar.
This is a silly post. Embarassing even. But an interesting day in my life nonetheless. I hope to actually see the strange nature art someday.
