Spiral Getti

September 26, 2008: Tonight Aaron, Jade, Austin, Erica (Austin's latest girlfriend) and I went to the Spiral Getti. Aaron and I first found out about it while we were dating. We were looking for a fun place to just cruise to and I found directions on how to get to the Spiral Getti. The Spiral Getti is a manmade sculpture made back in the 1950's out in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. Depending on how high the water is depends on how far out you can go. It is shaped in a large concho shell and you can walk out on it depending on how high the water is at that particular moment. Getting to it is pretty tricky because the directions are pretty random. I think one says, "go straight past the second cattle guard and there should be a large wooden post at your right. Take the small dirt road and take a left after 2.5 miles." When we did it there were tons of jackrabbits on the road and several times we saw owls swoop down and pick up field mice. It was a really fun trip so when Erica and Austin heard our story, they wanted to go. So we took them. It was later in the year than when we went last so there wasn't as much wild life. We saw jackrabbits but not nearly as many as last time and we never saw any owls. We were able to find it and walked out to the very center. We had a really good time and it was a great way to get to know Erica better. Jade did really well. She pretty much just slept the entire way.
