|sumsion| posted a photo: Those of you who live in Northern Utah are well aware of the crazy wind storms that we had last week. I got caught in one of them just as I was helping to take a load of stuff to the local landfill. I can tell you that the landfill is not the place you want to be when 50-80 mph micro-bursts hit, followed by large, pelting rain drops/shards. Fast-moving garbage just isn’t my thing. Anyway, these winds created some really amazing patterns near the Great Salt Lake water. The ripples were deeply cut and I could tell that tons of mud and sand had been thrown around during the storms. Closer to shore the wind had blown a thin layer of salt over the sand, which had crystallized. As I was walking the mile or so out to the water, through the salt, I kept looking back thinking that somebody was following me. I figured out that my feet were kicking up the salt crystals and they were shattering behind me as I walked. No matter how many times I told myself that this, in fact, what was happening, I still kept looking back. I think I freaked myself out a bit, which probably isn’t too difficult to do when I’m by myself in the middle of nowhere. I survived, and whoever was following me did a great job of hiding.
