We came down out of the mountains and onto Antelope Island (which, due to low water levels, is actually now a peninsula). Our luck with the fire smoke finally ran out as there was a thick haze over the entire area all day.
It was about 95ºF on the island in the
middle of the afternoon. We are at a primitive campsite, so we were
really glad to have our lithium-ion battery so we could crank up the A/C
and take a little afternoon nap.
There is a large herd of bison on the island, and we watched them graze for a while. We went for a swim in the Great Salt Lake, then hiked up to a ridge to watch the sunset. The fire smoke made for a very interesting photo. It looked like one of those double sun planets from the movies.

Tomorrow we head up to cooler weather in the Grand Teton National Park.
