So, Salt Lake City did NOT blow us away. The Great Salt Lake was more depressing than anything else, Oktoberfest at Alta just wasn't the same without beer, and we were heartily fooled by the Mormon church when we bought 3.2% beer at 7/11. But the locals sure seemed to enjoy it! We did make a couple more friends late-night at the campground...they seemed tipsy and desperately seeking Frank, but we had questions: what is Bud Dry? have you ever had a drink outside Utah? If yes, what happens, do you just get immediately arrested? Why is the foreign guy in the designer jeans still in Salt Lake City? And why did he feel the need to narrate/MC the evening? We weren't worried when several people drove home after all that great near-beer. Just turn right past the O'doul's billboard, a left at the Tabernacle and you're home.
Overall, Utah started off confusing. And a little bittersweet. We dropped off our treasured traveler at Salt Lake City airport and embarked deeper into this odd state on our own.
Check out the pics from Lander and Northern Utah. More to come from Moab!

Haha..I've totally been to THE Salt Lake and agree..not much to wrote home about...
This is the absolute best thing I've ever seen. I'm going to post on Blackboard (we're studying Westward Expansion and can view it 2008 style through your eyes and pics). AWESOME
