Treeless Antelope Island sits out in the Great Salt Lake. A mere bay away from bustling Salt Lake City, it is an wide open serene place of roaming herds of buffalo and smaller darting groups of pronghorn antelope. Several small roads and hiking trails around the island give way to great views and animal watching. This time of year the weather was an ideal warm and sunny during the day with cooler temps at night, and then the wind started to blow!
Last night, as usual, I had to pee in the middle of the night. I unzipped the tent, we were sleeping in the ground tent because if you’ve been to the Badlands you know the wind blows, I mean really blows, I mean hold the tent down or you’re going to parasail to Wyoming blows!
Well anyways, back to my bladder, so I unzipped the tent and crawled out, pulled down my shorts and started to pee when I heard a snort! I looked up and 15 feet away was a huge buffalo watching me pee. What was I to do? They had been roaming in and out of our primitive camping area for 2 days and seemed pretty docile. Should I finish peeing? He seemed calm, but wouldn’t stop staring at me, the perv. What’s a lady to do?
Of course, I finished peeing! Wished him a good night and crawled back into my sleeping bag😁
