RE: One lap around the Great Salt Lake

Great pics Frulk. I can't believe how low the lake is. I lived in Alta during the winters of 82/83 and 83/84. We received over 800" of snow each year and I remember the flooding each spring. The railroad trestles west out of SLC were under water and Salt Aire was flooded and completely cut off from I-80. Even Trolley Square near downtown was flooded. I also remember the canyon walls abutting Glen Canyon Dam were beginning to fail. It's amazing how dry things look now!

I rode my CB400F non-stop from SF to Denver in '82 and took a nap on one of the picnic tables at the rest area just east of Wendover, across from the salt flats. Good times! You think a CB1100 is uncomfortable? Ever see how narrow the seat is on a CB400F?!
