We’ve had enough the cold for a little bit and we are in need of some heat or some warmth, so after we pick up the generator from Salt Lake City we were heading to Thermopolis in Wyoming, largest hot springs in Wyoming. Found a great little family friendly place called star plunge not even had two waterslides. The girls had fun. Edwin and I had fun too. It’s pretty great to be sitting in a hot spring and watch the same come off the warm water when it’s cold outside.
It was a crazy windstorm last night. We even closed the slide out because it was making so much noise. I’m glad we explored and went walking last night. We woke up and stayed hunkered down in the RV and listened to the wind howl. At least I was finally able to update the last week of posts that I have been unable to because lack of proper internet for upload pictures.
We checked out the visitor center and here’s some info on the Great Salt Lake
The Great Salt Lake is in a very shallow basin. It is about 75 miles long by 35 miles wide, but is only about 33 feet deep at its max. Great Salt Lake at him as a terminal lake because 4 rivers and several streams flow into the lake but because of its shallow basin NO rivers flow out. The only way water leaves is through evaporation. This is partially why it’s salt level is so great. The water evaporates and the salt and other minerals are left behind. The other reason is because the lake is a remnant of the Pleistocene era lake called Lake Bonneville: as the lake dried up the salt remained.
Antelope are the 2nd Fastest mammal on the planet…which puts them as the FASTEST mammal in North America. They can run 70 miles an hour. Did you know that bison can run up to 40 miles an hour? Also an antelope eyes are almost as big as elephants; they can see almost 360° and can see movement 4 miles away.
