Spiral Jetty

Another beautiful day. So Chieko and I headed to Spiral Jetty, which is about 16 miles of dirt road from the Golden Spike National Historic Site, or about 120 miles from home.

Spiral Jetty is the work of artist Robert Smithson, who built it in 1970. I've only been there one other time, when the jetty was under water and difficult to see. But we've had several years of drought, and the Great Salt Lake level is way down now. The concept, shape, and location of the jetty all have meaning, but you'll have to look them up on Wikipedia or somewhere.

The following are different views of the jetty in video and photos. Except the ones that aren't.






That's Chieko waving. 

That's also Chieko walking back to the car. 




This plane took off from a beach nearby, circled the jetty, and landed back on the beach. 

Me on the jetty. Yes, I walked the whole spiral to the center of the jetty. 

Several farms around Corinne had corn stalks still standing. We debated whether they were sweet corn that had already been harvested or cattle feed waiting to be harvested. I win. 

Cars driving home on I-15 near Bountiful.
