Vacation II (The Great Salt Lake)

Today my dad didn't want to sit around all day at the hotel so we decided to go to the Great Salt Lake, and to kill even more time, take the backroads. We drove around forever and eventually got to one part of the lake, but we didn't want to go in. So we left and this time my dad let me drive. It was really fun. We eventually got to this one bay part (I forgot what it's called) and it was a dirt road. And it was SO BuMpY. We got to some water and collected some shells and pretty rocks, which I am gunna tape in my journal. (they are really small). Then we drove on and stopped a few times but there were tons of horseflies. So we kept driving thinking we would get out the other side. We saw tons of awsome birds along the way. (If this were one of those dumb english tests, that would be sentence that doesn't really fit in...oh well.)
I was driving forever and it was getting really annoying. Finally I hit a rock and it made a really loud noise. I freaked out and my dad looked. We didn't hurt the oil pan but bent some thing under there, I forgot what it's called. But it wasn't anything too important. So my dad asked if I wanted him to drive. so I let him. I was getting pretty sick of it after an hour and a half. So we kept driving and finally got to a point where the road didn't go anywhere. We could see civilization just a half mile away, but couldn't get to it. So we had to go all the way back....yes, great fun of getting bumped around for another hour. I made it better by listening to the OLC though. Anyway, yeah, we just got back and now I am going swimming.
