Road Damage UPDATE
by Dave Shearer 18 Nov '22

18 Nov '22

It has been a long 2 ½ years since the earthquake and all the damage to the road happened. And it has been a long, strange path to get forward movement on the road. But we are finally there! There are still some final agreements that need to happen between several government entities but road repairs will begin in the next week or two. This first round of repairs are to fix the road base so the road is smoother and more palatable to drive on. This should take less than a week. There are several long sections of road that are still sinking and settling. These have not been torn out yet and must be to complete repairs. Those sections will be torn out late winter or early spring. Once those sections have been completed, all the sections that were damaged will be paved over. In the meantime, when you come out this weekend for Turkey Fest, please drive very careful and alert on the road. Take your time. There are numerous very large potholes since our last rain storm. We have constantly been putting down road base in the potholes but just can't keep up with the damage. I hope to have news on dredging very soon but right now we just don't have enough details to put out a meaningful email about what is in store for dredging. Hope to see most of you tomorrow for the turkey fest. We had a LOT of RSVP's. Dave

It seems there is some interest in getting a small crane out here to lift some boats from the parking lot onto trailers. If you are interested please let me know and we will see if we can get something put together. Thanks Dave

Turkey Fest - PLEASE RSVP
by Dave Shearer 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

Just a reminder and a request for RSVP's for Turkey Fest. The 26th annual Turkey Fest is coming up on Saturday, November 19th. This has become the largest event at the Great Salt Lake State Park. Last year we deep fried 9 turkeys which is our all-time record. We served nearly 150 people. If you have never had deep fried turkey you are really missing out. I will provide the turkeys but I need a count on how many people will be here so PLEASE RSVP as soon as possible. Side dishes are welcome but not mandatory. This is always a great food event. Please come out and see old friends. We serve promptly at 4pm so don't be late. For those that have already RSVP'd thank you. Dave

Your Trailers and Boats at GSL Marina
by Dave Shearer 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

If you have a trailer or boat at GSL Marina, we need your help. On occasion we need to shuffle around boats that are on trailers in order to accommodate work going on out here. But this has become difficult due to a LOT OF FLAT TIRES on trailers. If you are storing your boat on a trailer at GSL Marina, the trailer must be maintained so it can be moved when necessary. We have quite a few trailers with flat tires or tires off their rims at this point. Please make sure your trailer is maintained. We also have a lot of boats that need to be properly secured regardless of whether they are on trailers or not. There are also quite a few shredded tarps covering boats. Thank you Dave

STORAGE RENT - Credit Card Autopays
by Dave Shearer 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

We have switched over to a new, more secure credit card processing system. That means we need a bit more information from you, for those that are on Credit Card Autopay. Probably the best thing to do is to just fill out a new form and either email or send the form to us. Email to harbormaster(a)gslmarina.com<mailto:harbormaster@gslmarina.com> or send to Great Salt Lake State Park / PO Box 440 / Magna, Utah 84044 Our new system needs billing zipcode and the CVV number. Please, if you have a current autopay form you can just send us the zipcode and CVV number otherwise please fill out the attached form. Also, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY PAYMENT from many of you since boats were pulled out of the marina and stored in storage or the parking lot. Please remember that storage is $25.00 per month ($75.00 for secured storage). Thanks Dave

Communication Problems
by Dave Shearer 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

We are still experiencing fallout from the wild fires a few weeks ago. Great Salt Lake State Park is still being powered by a generator. We still do not have phone lines. If you need to get in touch with us use 801-828-0787. That is the cell phone in the VC and they can get messages to us. We are also on very limited internet which is also making it more difficult to receive and return emails in a timely manner. Please trust we will get to emails as quick as we can. Hopefully this should all be fixed in about a week. Thanks Dave
