Yesterday was trains, today, planes.
Heading up to Hill AF base museum just north of Layton. This is new territory for me as I have never been this far north --- its a couple of exits north of Antelope Island.
Its another beautiful day, sunny and cool morning.
When we exit, the museum is right there and we drive slowly through a bunch of planes (cargo planes, B1B bomber, etc. Of course, we walk thru the planes as well. Man, are some of them big.
The museum itself it rather large w/ 2 buildings full of planes (fighter, bomber, cargo planes), different types of bombs and tributes to the UT military men/women, and helicopters. The prize for me is the SR71 Blackbird. I thought it was a really nice museum - I think we spent 2hrs there.
Then a quick lunch and a stop at Antelope Island. We drive down the east side of the island and spot a bison on the left side of the road walking to a fresh water basin. And to the right there were 3 bison heading toward the water as well. One of the bison was really near to crossing the road so I pulled over and waited for it to cross which it did. (I was surprised that my Dad was actually taking photos.)
I pulled forward a bit and my Dad and I got out of the car and waited for the 2nd bison to reach the water. I was curious as to what the reaction of the 1st bison would be. But they both played nice and drank side-by-side.
My Dad and I couldn't figure out where the other 2 bison went -- they just disappeared.
We then went to the highest part of the island which you can drive thru - for the view. And then headed down to the ranch.
On the way back, we spotted 3 pronghorn.
Enjoyable day.
