Our first stop on our extended trip back home, was Reno, Nevada where we found the Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary. This is place that takes in animals that cannot be returned to their natural habitats to live out their lives with conditions as close to real as possible.
There were lots more animals including Jaquar, bears, birds, and coyotes. It was unbelievably hot so we opted to leave without actually seeing all the animals.
Our next stop was Salt Lake City, capital of Utah. Like so many large cities there was construction making getting around a challenge, but we were able to see the Capital building and the Morman Tabernacle. The temple and temple square were under construction.
After the traffic filled morning, we drove to Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake.
On the island is the Fielding Garr Ranch which was actually a working ranch from 1848 until 1981. It was interesting to see the various upgrades of appliances and methodologies over the 100 plus years.
Back in 1880, 24 bison were introduced onto the island and today there is a herd of over 200. Of course, it is managed each year to control the size and health of the herd.
