Greetings from the Salt Lake City Airport. First stop on my Summer in Washington DC. Carrie took me to the airport early this morning and so, far, so good. I feel pretty comfortable here in Utah. I flew out and back to this airport many times when Howard and I lived in Ogden. It's Saturday morning. We spent many pleasant Saturday mornings around here. We had a great house, with views of the Wasatch Mountains and Great Salt Lake. I think the elevation was about 3000'. I could see the mountains from the kitchen window and Salt Lake from the family room. I'd like to take a picture of those gorgeous mountains, but it's a little smoggy and they don't show very well today. Instead, I learned a new trick and downloaded a picture from the Salt Lake City Airport website and included it in this post.
Why were we living in Utah? I was working at the Regional Office for the Forest Service--Intermountain Region. I worked with a lot of great people there. Although I was glad to move back to Oregon, I have a lot of good memories of Utah. It is beautiful....with deserts, mountains, lakes, rivers and a wide variety of wildlife.
