The great salt Lake

*note the clear water *(not a brine fly-and that pic was very near the shore)--quite a contrast as to when we went back on a hot day in July (8th)

how can a person live in Ut and never go out to or past the Great Salt Lake.....??? well for years I only heard about this beautiful lake and only remember going once with my family as a child.
I remember the brine flies --yes but we still had a fun time--so
for the last few years--I've gone out a few times on my own and with others. (For example we went out with the Hebners one twenty-fourth and took the canoe)-- I personally love it out there
its like a free spa. the only draw back if you don't go earlier on in the season--the flies can get bad
so then last spring/summer I'd say about June 1--I go out there and swim...nice high water no flies to speak of much--water is pretty pleasant. So I take some of the grandkids out--trying to recreate my fabulous June experience--it was not to be---there were too many flies but they were good sports--trying to go out with me far enough to get past the flies--but in the end we all just laughed..(so that we didn't cry) In short---to quote leo marvin 'IT WAS A DISASTER FAYE"
