I looked all over the country and found it would be nice to take a trip to Salt Lake City - then drive south to Las Vegas. And on that way se a lot of your country.
I hope i am doing the right thing.
The pictures they send me from outside SLC is awesome and i am planning to do some zig zag so se more of the desert and some nature.
Hope its worth it. Trip will be about 11.000$....

Don't let the pictures fool you. There is nice real estate outside Salt Lake Valley. The stuff in the SLC valley is ok. To me it is fast becoming another major city. Not much land left.

Views of the mountains are nice however. Traffic can get bad at times and a lot of gridlock if you live west of I-15 the major freeway.

And todays snowstorm was an absolute joke driving home!!!

Glad the snowies do there job on the rear wheel drive.

Utah is a beautiful place though. A lot of scenic stuff within 2-3 hours in any direction. And Vegas is only five hours south of us.

Fantastic! I just took a trip elsewhere, and always forget how beautiful of a place this really is. I hope you are able to see a lot of places here, the serenity is great

Ya, I can only imagine the drive in summer tires. Nice to hear people are making it home safe tonight. My wife gets off at 11:30 hope the roads are cleared by then.

I don't plan on putting summer tires on till either late March or April.

Ruff Rider · 02-14-2008, 08:23 AM

Ill put them back on when it hits 45 again. Worth it, just gotta pay attention and put the snows back on before it goes below that temp.

Park2670 · 02-14-2008, 05:39 PM

I do need oxygen to breathe here! We have a good breeze rolling thru so not as bad as usual

Only problem is e90post is blocked again, the damn filter decided it thinks this is a war/fighting site. Can't get ahold of it again oddly! Gotta post from the phone

Good morning gents! Hope all is well. Did you go to Vegas yet?

Quick question... do you have any recommendations on rock chip repair places around SLC? I've been skiing quite a bit, and have a few small chips in my windshield.
