The Great Salt Lake, located in the northern part of the U.S. state of Utah, is the largest salt water lake in the Western Hemisphere, and the fourth-largest terminal lake in the world. In an average year the lake covers an area of around 1,700 square miles (4,400 km2), but the lake's size fluctuates substantially due to its shallowness. For instance, in 1963 it reached its lowest recorded level at 950 square miles (2,460 km²), but in 1988 the surface area was at the historic high of 3,300 square miles (8,500 km2). In terms of surface area, it is the largest lake in the United States that is not part of the Great Lakes region.
The lake is the largest remnant of Lake Bonneville, a prehistoric pluvial lake that once covered much of western Utah. The three major tributaries to the lake, the Jordan, Weber, and Bear rivers together deposit around 1.1 million tons of minerals in the lake each year. As it is endorheic (has no outlet besides evaporation), it has very high salinity, far saltier than seawater, and its mineral content is constantly increasing. Its shallow, warm waters cause frequent, sometimes heavy lake-effect snows from late fall through spring.
I hope you enjoy the wonder and awe that is the Great Salt Lake :) Hope to meet some of you Saturday in Canada as well!

In 1970, artist Robert Smithson wandered out onto northeastern shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah and began work on what is perhaps his best known project–The Spiral Jetty. Since Smithson’s untimely death only three years after its completion, Spiral Jetty has become a primal testament to humanity’s mark on the environment and a popular destination for tourists and art lovers alike.

In this video you will see why i have come to the conclusion why the earth is flat. People have said you need to look over longer distances than 11 miles and I have done just that. I have been able to see a mountain that is 100 miles away that should be below the horizon. I used to be just like everyone else and believed he world is a sphere but aft many hours of research and my own tests. I am finding it very hard to believe that anymore. I am sorry I didn't realize where it shows the elevation on Google earth was being cut off in my video. You all can see where my locations are so if you are questioning my elevations please look it up on Google Earth.
On Friday, February 20th, my son, Murphy, and I had an overnight adventure on the northeast shore of the Great Salt Lake, camping near a massive piece of artwork known as the Spiral Jetty. While there, we also hunted Jackrabbits and explored the area. Temperatures were in the 30s and 40s (F), but a nice campfire and some innovation with a couple of water bottles helped to keep us warm and, for the most part, dry. Our campsite was in the remains of an old cabin, so between that and the Spiral Jetty there was a lot of history surrounding us. It was an amazing camp out and we had a great time!
My Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/george.ioannidis4 Οι λίμνες του πλανήτη μας συνθέτουν ένα τεράστιο και πολύτιμο απόθεμα γλυκού νερού, απ’ όπου η ανθρωπότητα αντλεί για δεκάδες χιλιάδες χρόνια. Δημιουργημένες δε, από ένα ευρύ φάσμα κλιματικών και γεωλογικών συνθηκών, οι λίμνες υδροδοτούνται είτε επιφανειακά από ποταμούς που εκβάλλουν σ’ αυτές, είτε υπόγεια από πηγές. Αν και όλες οι λίμνες φαίνονται όμοιες, είναι, ωστόσο, πολύ διαφορετικές. Μερικές είναι τόσο βαθιές όσο οι ωκεανοί. Άλλες μπορούμε να τις διασχίσουμε χωρίς σχεδόν να βραχούμε. Μερικές λίμνες μοιάζουν να βρίσκονται εδώ για μία αιωνιότητα, ενώ άλλες εμφανίζονται και εξαφανίζονται αναλόγως της εποχής. Όμως, όλες έχουν ένα κοινό χαρακτηριστικό: φιλοξενούν πλούσιες και ποικίλες μορφές ζωής στα βάθη τους και στις όχθες τους. ...

Teri comes in laughing
Shakes her coat off
And I just can't bear to look
Anymore I hear somebody laughing
I just figure, I've been took
She stands right behind me
With one hand on my back
My eyes are closed
At first I think she speaks to me
But when I hear him say, “Hi”
I say, “oh”
Oh, oh, oh
Here come the angels talking sweet to me
Just like the thought that I was dumb
Like I don't hear the talk from town
Like I don't know what's ‘bout to come
Everybody knows they left Paul without his clothes
Behind the barn in tears
Now we can't get him off that God damned horse
He's been there for years
Years, years, years
It's ten o'clock the tv's on my bed
The news is on, it's never good
I'm up, I'm up, I'm getting up, I will
I know I really should
This lake is too big for me Jesus
Don't hold me to anything I do
If I surrender now and let it swallow me
Don't think they won't blame you
You, you, you, you
Don't think they won't blame you
