Spiral Jetty

Look what attached itself to Cathy's car on our drive to the Spiral Jetty! This grasshopper hitched a ride from Brigham City to the Golden Spike Visitors Center. We should have charged him car fare. Really, with the price of gas, he should have chipped in.

The Spiral Jetty was created by sculptor, Robert Smithson in 1970. It is made of mud, salt crystals, basalt rocks, earth and water. I hiked about half-way up the hill to be able to view the Spiral Jetty better. Looking back, I wish I would have hiked to the top.

Is this remnants of an old pier? Makes one wonder about the history of this area.

The weather was so odd. We worried about rain, but didn't get any until the drive back, after dark. These are mammatus clouds.

The sky looked like this while Cathy and I were wandering around - half clear and half clouds.
