Please remember that those of the forum members who are members of an organized religion do take it seriously... They do not try to convert anyone in their posts, so we should not try to deem them in ours.

Well said. Thank You.

Grifter, I think HighWiz’s post should be made into a sticky.
Just a thought.

yeah, southern Utah is the desert. Northern Utah is Green. Way to judge by one experience, this thread is beginning to breed ignorance.

I'm sorry, I only grew up 25 miles from the Utah border... apparently I must be spreading ignorance about the appearance of Utah along the I-70 corridor...

Oh wait, in Utah the I-70 corridor is a barren wasteland bereft of any civilization...

Ok, let's look at this again...

Driving from Colorado to Defcon was the first time I'd seen any of Utah from I-70 west of the San Rafel Swell/Green River during the daytime. The day was overcast... and what I saw out my windows was how I envisioned hell...

But it can't be hell, it's Joseph Smith's promised land, Deseret!

Maybe you needed to read your post again, and perhaps my response. Whether or not you grew up near Utah, you mention the "first time" seeing Utah in the daytime, from which you made a judgement call about the state.

Believe me, you don't want to argue with me, you will lose.

This thread is one more ignorant response away from being closed.

I suppose the wording of my original statement was confusing... but you are discarding every qualifier I placed on it. What I meant to say was it was the first time I had ever been on the stretch of I-70 between the San Rafel Swell and the I-25 junction during the daytime. Keep in mind that the stretch of I-70 before the San Rafel Swell but after Green River intersects with both 191 heading for Salt Lake and 24 heading towards Hanksville/Lake Powell, so even having only been on that stretch of road a handful of times and always at night, my access to the state certainly hasn't been impeded. I've certainly been (hiked, rafted, biked, skied) all over the state.

And actually, come to think of it, I have been on that stretch during the daytime, but at the time I was driving and was unable to look around very much.
