The majesty of this paradise is marred only once, by a single, unsightly blemish - a place referred to by the locals as SL,UT.
Salt Lake City. A clutter of strip malls, fast food joints and Olympic relics filling every cranny of a ruined valley bizarrely surrounded by the most enchanting mountain landscape in America. The architecture whispers, "Nature is so beautiful, I don't have to be."
Immediately beyond the city lies a duo of stunning natural wonders: The Great Salt Lake...
and the otherworldly Salt Flats!
Mmmm...salty!
Hi, Phil and Audrey:
ReplyDeleteWe are following your trip via Bernie's sharing of your fabulous comments.
Am totally not surprised that you found Nebraska to be a friendly place. When our family lived there for several years, that's the way people were there: They were just friendly folks. Glad to hear that has not changed.
Aunt Liz and I wish you both every success in your new life in California

I was at Salt Lake City the year before the Olympics in the Spring it was clean and beautiful. Amazing of how wasteful and ugly things can get after the Olympics. I saw the same thing in Atlanta a few years after their Olympic Games. Everything was allowed to deteriate. The mountains and outlying towns were better anyway in Utah.
