Kayaking the Compromised Jordan River
I’ve never much liked Russian olives. Now, however, I have even more reasons to wish them gone from the wetlands, meadows and riverbanks they’ve invaded. In fact, I might even go so far as to make the following statement: I hate Russian olives.
This time it’s personal.

In Search of Kit Carson’s Cross on Fremont Island in the Great Salt Lake
On July 7th, my baby sister, Disa, turned 22 and my gift to her was a little taste of why I dedicate so much of my time working to protect and explore the natural world.
She might not have known how special and rare it is to tag along on a visit to Fremont Island when I invited her, let alone why in the world her sister would dedicate an entire summer to exploring and writing about the Great Salt Lake, but I think by the end of the day, she knew.
On the way to Antelope Island Marina, where two state park boats waited to whisk us away to the shores of Fremont, Disa admitted to Nicole and me that she doesn’t read our blog, “Summer of Salt, An Exploration of the Great Salt Lake.”
I write to her because she doesn’t know about the Lake, and has no reason to care about what happens to it. In fact, she has no strong feelings one way or the other. She is exactly the kind of person Nicole and I want to reach with this blog – people who would quickly understand if only they had a proper introduction.
For me, it was like discovering the Lake all over again.
