Saturday, May 12, 2012, we went with our friend, Walter Mills, to attempt to ride out to the Great Salt Lake Marina. On the way, we stopped at a golf club for a drink from this fountain.
We have to go through this tunnel to continue on our way past the airport toward the marina. I think it goes under one of the roads to the airport.
This part of the trail leads alongside a river. Jim is way ahead of me!
Once we arrived on a frontage road for I-80 west, we went by a small pond which had these American Avocets in it. Aren't they beautiful!
This is a view alongside this 10 or 11 mile stretch on the frontage road, toward the marina. The red shirt belongs to Walt Mills.
We are getting closer to the Saltair resort and the marina. Aren't these mountains grand!
Time for a short break for photos of Jim and Walt. Walt is a new bike rider and has taken to it like a duck to water! Of course neither Jim nor I have been biking long either!
This is to prove that we are actually near the Great Salt Lake Marina. Note the sagebrush in the foreground.
This is a view as we get closer to the marina. You can see the Great Salt Lake in the background.
Here is Walt on his new bike! He has named it D.O.T. or DOT for short. (Had to be a female name) Cute, eh? We had a contest at the Training Zone to name his bike and Sherry Carlisle submitted that name. I submitted "Cheekie" :-) as a name, which won by popular vote, but he chose the DOT, which is really a better choice.
This is Jim with the Saltair & the Great Salt Lake in the background. You have to read more for information on the Saltair.
Jim and Walt pose for the photo of the lake & the Saltair
Jim and Lynda pose for the same shot! :-) I have the camera lanyard around my neck.
Another pretty shot! :-)
Here we are at the Marina with all these beautiful sailboats! Read on to part 2 for ...."the rest of the story". We sent about a half hour here, exploring.
