Walking with "God's Dog" the Coyote
on Antelope, Stansbury and Carrington Islands.
Visiting caves on Promontory Point,
walking along the spiral jetty,
catching brine shrimp eggs by the ton,
chasing rogue ostriches on Stansbury Island. Really.
Nothing better than watching the sunset as we sailed
across sparkling waters with gulls, pelicans, avocets, ducks, grebes and F-16s.
No more sailing or naked water skiing, yet great hiking on the islands and beyond.
Imagine no more glimmering water as the sunsets over Farmington Bay and beyond.
Great Salt Lake is a gift from the gods
and there are those who have stolen this saline lake
from us and all following generations.
Great Salt Lake is the heart of Utah, and the heart is drying and dying
as the main vein the Bear River, along with the Weber, Jordan
and the rest of the watery veins along the Wasatch Front
are being stolen from not only the Lake but all future beings.
Imagine the Great Salt Lake as a Heart that has died.
Rob Bero found Great Salt Lake with his father at a young age and has spent a lifetime intimately exploring its beauty from brine shrimp harvesting boats.
