Antelope Island

 While Abuela Rina and Tía Ana were still here we decided to go explore Antelope Island since we'd never been there before. Antelope Island is the largest of 10 islands on the Great Salt Lake and has an area of 42 square miles. We arrived just in time to drive around and check out some of the wildlife and watch the sun set on the lake.
 Arachnaphobes should not stray far from their cars on the island as there are more spiders than you can handle. As we were driving up to the visitors center, strings between the sage brush kept catching my eye and as we slowed down, I noticed that there were giant spiders on each one. It's enough to give me the shivers just as I recall it. Needless to say, I'll never be camping overnight or straying from any paved trails while we visit. :)
 Good things the wildlife can be spotted from the car. :)
