How Do You Stop The Lagging From Desmume

Antelope Iceland - Playing Tourist, Part 7

My stay in Utah is approaching its end. I should set a certain volcano in Iceland no bar by making the bill, I'm going to sit well in a week on packed suitcases. No reason, however, to do nothing more, quite the opposite. Last Sunday I visited for the first time Antelope Iceland State Park, located on an island in Great Salt Lake , literally right outside the front door.

The name of Island Park and can be traced back to the so-called Pronghorn Antelopes to German pronghorn , in the place after the end of the 19th Century, it wiped out but recently have been successfully reintroduced, along with many other species are endemic. A seven-mile causeway, you can reach the island from the mainland by car, is on site it can take some built roads, several miles to gravel roads and of course countless hiking trails .

The past Sunday was a beautiful spring day, the sun shone, it was almost summer-warm, almost no wind was blowing - and millions of mosquitoes suchten sich deutsche Touristen als Opfer. Ich übertreibe nicht, wenn ich hier schreibe, dass mein Arm stellenweise schwarz war vor lauter Kleininsekten. Zum Glück habe ich mich inzwischen wieder von deren Attacken erholt, und da ich auch keine Bilder von besagten Tierchen gemacht habe, bleibt mir der Ausflug weitgehend in positiver Erinnerung.

Hier ein paar Bilder:

Der erste Buffalo Bison , direkt am Besucherzentrum. Leider kein echter.

Eine Möwe macht noch keinen Sommer (oder so ähnlich) …

… aber vielleicht three?

A View from Buffalo Point across the lake to the northwest.

Another View from Buffalo Point , this time to the southwest, the White Rock Bay way to Elephant Head .

The are so innocent-looking path towards the Elephant Head was pure Mart trail: myriads of mosquitoes! And to make matters worse it was also the wrong path. Two hours later, back on the right track and very close to the park entrance, they could then finally look:

Die echten Bisons! Um einen Eindruck zu bekommen, wie nahe man an die Tiere herankam (oder umgekehrt?), hier noch ein Blick von der gleichen Stelle aus, auf die andere Straßenseite:

Diese beiden waren wohl keine hundert Meter entfernt, die ersten beiden weniger als halb so weit.

Hier noch ein wirklich unspektakuläres Bild:

Der Kojote darauf befindet sich übrigens vor einer der Pfützen:

Bei dieser Aufnahme habe ich, zum ersten Mal überhaupt glaube ich, ein gutes Teleobjektiv missing.

Good advice ...

closer ... I would have approached but do not necessarily.

this I would have expected, least of all: a Pronghorn -frame, in addition to not fifty yards of the road!

The last walking leg of the day: The way to Dooly Knob .

And another sight White Rock Bay from Dooly Knob out for a change.

An impression of the way back, somewhere between the summit and parking.

And the grand finale was then on the return trip, just before the park exit, a whole look Pronghorn herd!

Finally, then a last look from the park over to Downtown Salt Lake City .

I was told before the tour that I'd better of Antelope Iceland not promise too much, according to my expectations were not too high - and were far exceeded! (Does anyone have the exclamation point in the article counted?)

I hope it is not then in Yellowstone National Park may be reversed (which to me says that is everyone on here). There goes the way out tomorrow. Images and reports will (eventually) follow.

One more week ...

Have a nice weekend, Utah. Nice weekend, Germany!
