Grand Rapids to Salt Lake

1600 miles from Grand Rapids to Salt Lake over two days last week in our new (used) car! Fun VW Jetta, finally i get to drive a manual again! Pretty much one road the whole way (I-80). Fun sights on the way:

For the claustrophobic amongst us, this is the one and only tunnel between Chicago & Salt Lake.

Winter has arrived!

We also spent a fun day at the Utah Olympic Park for our birthday's, which included a bobsled ride!














People actually jump off this.

Amusing note left on a car parked inappropriately

Dear car owner,

This is not a parking space. If you do not move your car within 24 hours, Tim from the Westminster College basketball team will shit in your radiator.

Yours Sincerely,

Back from the Spiral Jetty

Just back from the Spiral Jetty at the north end of the Great Salt Lake (about 90 minutes north of SLC). We were sucked in by pictures such as this:



and this:



We had a great time exploring the countryside, although our photos turned out a little more modest:





























Still, we couldn't keep some of the locals out of the action.














Also stumbled across the place where the east & west railroads met up.






























Fun time was had by all!

We saw Gomez last night in Park City ...

-See Gomez live on stage with only 300 other people whilst I was standing against the stage at the front with no security between me and the band and banter back and forth with them and got myself a set list and a guitar pick and was able to drive home within 15 minutes (no hour long commutes!)

Not too foul a night! A mate in Australia said the following in response to the cheap tix and the fact we saw our fave band:

I hate you. Please die.

Love,

Your jealous friend. "
