Correction made. Thanks for keeping me straight. My laptop is still on Eastern time where it's after midnight.So you're a time traveler now, Jim? The 26th is tomorrow.
We are keeping busy - getting ready for camping as it looks like the freezing temps have abated. I can unwinterize the RV. I dig the mountain bike pictures, and hope to blaze a few new adventures in the Unitas. Just modified my hardtail with a redshift suspension stem; maybe I can go a bit farther without getting beat up now.Correction made. Thanks for keeping me straight.

Hope you and yours are safe and able to get out and enjoy this nice weather too.
I have a feeling that use of water from Utah's Jordan River for golf course irrigation is probably one of the better things that could be done with it. The Jordan River is not very pristine. Half the population of Utah lives within ten miles of it and it's been a repository of human, farm, and mining waste for 100+ years. Also, it dead-ends into the Great Salt Lake. The Salt Lake County Health Department (SLCoHD) has issued a Warning Advisory for the Jordan River and its canals after samples showed levels of anatoxin-a that exceed the recreation health-based threshold. Health officials advise people to stay out of the water and keep dogs from entering or drinking river water. Toxins present at this level have not been shown to present a health threat to people kayaking or boating on the surface of the river, but recreationists are advised to avoid areas of scum.Who knew bits of the SLC hinterland could be so green (having only been through in winter and around Labor Day)? Though I dread to think what those golf courses and parks consume in irrigation. Glad you're getting the most out of lockdown.
Semi-abandoned is accurate .I accessed the lake from a location off I80 about 15 miles west of SLC. This is the site of a semi-abandoned concert hall called The Great Saltair and there was plenty of free parking nearby.
