Desperate for a spot I look up the sanborn maps and check out the old Saltair Resort which was built in 1893 on the Great Salt Lake.

The first thing that I saw was an old railcar that used to haul the people from Salt Lake out to the old resort now embellished by the thugs.

I drive out as far as I dare. This area is Mud Flats and Sand.

The first thing I find is a Mini Mag Lite.

It dosent work when I found it so I took it back to the truck and put some batteries in it. Let there be light...Sweet!

After walking in about another half a mile I find whats left of the posts that Saltair used to be on.
This was a bathing resort so I was thinking of all the old rings that the swimmers lost over the years.

There was plenty of old glass everywhere which got my hopes up as well.

After 4 hours I found a bunch of old brass, a silver fork, and a maglite.

I did meet a new friend on the way out, her name is Bobbie, a little worse for wear but at least shes dressed for the occasion.

Overall it was a bust.
But I think that I will try again, There has to be one old ring out there somewhere!

That RR car is intriquing! I love those things.

Looks like a place I'd be going back to over, and over, and over and over........


Boy, you just can't kill those mini-mags.
