spiral jetty

so my friend mel was in the state from san francisco and wanted to go see the spiral jetty. i have never been even though it is practically in my backyard. it is an earthwork art project by robert smithson built in 1970 on the great salt lake. about 30 or 40 miles west of Brigham City. out in the middle of nowhere. the last nine miles of the drive were agonizing and took a very big amount of time. gravel roads and then the last 2 miles were just dirt. but it was worth it. and is an impressive piece. much larger than i ever imagined. the water of the lake out there has a red pigment to it. and it was just beautiful.
