This is a picture of an ancient alien landing strip. It was built billions of years ago by a civilization of giant brine shrimp that came from another galaxy to inhabit this part of our planet. They were mistaken in their theory that the entire earth had the same brinish atmosphere that surrounds the Great Salt Lake. Thankfully for us, they were wrong.Yes the brine shrimp are still here, they are the only living thing that survives in the Great Salt Lake. However in a very strange phenomenon of reverse evolution, never imagined by Darwin, the shrimp have actually gotten much smaller than they were when they first arrived eons ago.....
.............Actually
I think this is all that's left of the grand boardwalk of the old Saltair resort, the boardwalk ran from the railroad spur out to the resort. It looks like rocks neatly lined up but is actually the salt encrusted wood pylons. It is hard to believe visiting the Lake today that there was ever anything this grand that ever existed out there.
In the photo it looks like the ground is all dried and cracked mud, but when we walked out here the top layer was dry and underneath was still muddy so it gave you the sensation of walking on thick foam rubber.

Awesome Post! Why oh why can't someone rebuild Saltair, think of how much fun it would be to go because of our location!!! I can't believe how many people would swim in there...
Cool photo! Did you take it? No, not the OLD one. I mean, you're old, but not thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat old. ;)
We need to take the kids out to Antelope one of these days. I actually have fond memories of swimming in that disgusting lake when we were kids and think ours would love it too!
Wanna go with us?
yes I took the picture, while geocaching with Q
Love the pictures. Thanks for your help!!!!
I'm a little disappointed to learn that it's not an alien landing strip.
