Did you konw that pomegranites grow in Utah?




Did you know that there is a place in Utah where cactus grow the size of five gallon buckets?



a place where fruit trees bloom the first week in March?


and at last, did you know that the Mojave Desert extends into Utah?

Yeah, I know. Its pretty darn close to heaven. Take a trip to see Utah's Beaver Dam Slope.

I didn't know that!! And to think of those wasted years living there without realizing the diversity. Although, I remember when we were leaving law school that I recognized that Utah had everything we were looking for in a place to live - weather, outdoors adventure, location to family, airport, a dozen temples... guess we should've stayed!

Amazing!! I wanna be a lichenologist and see the remote places of the earth too!

I would say that Roy would love to go see that (I'm sure he would), but we also have that almost right here in our own backyard if you ever want to come visit us. That way you'd get cool vegetation AND awesome nieces and nephew (not to mention sis and bro-in-law).

That pomergranite looks unnatural. Everything else I believe though. can you give us the Steve special tour when we're out? Do you guys like Wingers? Craig will need to go there when we're out.

What the heck! I was sold a bill of goods. Someone told me that Utah was wet, heavily forested, and muddy. Doggone if I wasn't lied to!!
