I passed through there in 1983 on the way to Salt Lake's Spring gun show. UT is such a grand state...desert, ski, water, mountains, hunting and fishing galore, lots of everything and the people are splendid...have a high school classmate in UT.
I think the area is a perfect place to live. Four seasons & Duck Hunting. Never got into snow things. When I was working they tried making me move. I always responded with: If you want my expertise you'll leave me in UT, or I'll find something else to do.
