Day 61 - Brigham City, UT to Snowville, UT

I started off today not feeling too great thanks to Shark Week. (If you don't know what that is, don't ask.) But after getting started I felt better. Regardless, I don't remember much about this ride. Nothing much stood out as unusual...  
An aside: Utah apparently doesn't like to name streets. Instead, the streets are given numbers and a direction. This way the city is divided into four quarters: northwest, southwest, northeast, and southeast. It's really quite confusing though because that means there are four 700 streets. And it can get crazier than that. Some of the streets are in the hundred thousands. For example, 254310 South. All this rant to say: Why can't Utah just give the streets names? 
Today, we got to bike through the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area, a freshwater wetland complex formed by Salt Creek. The area has extensive uplands composed of various grasses and greasewood, along with emergent marshes and open water habitat. The smell reminded me of the marshes at Barrier Island that I visited when I was in elementary school. I quite enjoyed this section of the ride. 
I guess there's no better place for ATK, an aerospace company, than the middle of nowhere, right? 
To infinity... And BEYOND!

Erin: "I release an egg once a month."
