Antelope Aloha...

Shila and I have worked in the hospitality tourism industry for [--] years now, and we've never even made it to a spot that we recommend quite often to out-of-towners. Well we finally decided to spend a sunny Saturday at Antelope Island State Park. After a stop at the small gift store for some essential (and pricey) bug spray we made our way to the beach, yes the beach. Granted this isn't Hawaii or California, but for Utah standards it was surprisingly nice. We hadn't planned very well (again, no bug spray, shoes-not-sandals, no towels ect.) but we still ventured out into the Salty Lake-- as far as our fears of wet iPhones would allow us. Funny enough, there were no antelope sitings but there were plenty of bison to behold. Especially when two beasts wandered on to the beach area. (I did have an escape plan; head for the water, while running in circles. Shush, it sounded good at the time) All and all it was a great way to spend an afternoon, if you ever want to check out the Salt Lake this is definitely the place. Just make sure you have some Deet and whatever repels buffalo.

some friends of ours just told us we should go out there because it is a great beach and i was shocked to hear it. i guess i never went out when i was a kid which is weird right?
