They had a lot of volunteers who were dressed up in historical clothing and reenacted the ceremony and driving of the golden spike. The weather was great just slightly cool with a breeze.
After the ceremony we ate lunch and decided to head out to the spiral jetty. It was 16 miles on a very bumpy road. When we got near the end there were a bunch of cars parked and we thought the road had ended. We looked out towards the Great Salt Lake and couldn't see the spiral jetty but there was a long rock road heading out towards the lake. We thought that if the road ended it must be out there so we headed out and out and out and out...
Lesa exploring ahead for us.
Salt every were
There was a lot of junk that once upon a time was under water.
After wandering around and exploring the edge of the Great Salt Lake, throwing rocks into the water and having a good time we decided to head back to the cars. When we got back to the car we saw that the road didn't end but it continued on. Before there were a bunch of cars parked on the road blocking it off and making it look like the road ended. We drove down the road a little more and what do you know? There was the spiral jetty! We found it and it was right by the road! We took some pictures and then headed back home.
