I, personally, would not take the chance. Despite bear-proof food containers in the campgrounds, many people do not have "clean" camps, so the bears get accustomed to rummaging for food. Unfortunately, sometimes, they maul campers. <br /><br />Yes, the Great Salt Lake is a smelly place, but I'm glad you have photos to prove you were there. <br /><br />Have you ever been to a pitchfork fondue?

There was no smell at all that I remember but I do remember all those little shrimp! I am glad that I waded in the Lake because I had always read about how you can't sink in that lake but of course I did not try to swim in it.
