    I was gonna post a quick LDS joke, but don't want to anger our LDS friends...

    No matter whatever faults there are in the area, the folks were incredibly friendly. I couldn't work in my yard or on my Jeep without someone offering a hand. A real sense of community there. However, I will admit the church was a bit intrusive.

    All told, I truly enjoyed the Ogden area.

    If they get angry over a joke, then I would say it was THEIR problem, not yours.
    I know two people who were raised LDS in other areas. They both became totally disenchanted with Mormonism after moving to Utah.

    I would love to hear it, just don't want to hear any jokes about John Travolta's religion!

    I was in the town where their headquarters was in Florida. People walking around in sailor uniforms.

    well, i'll do what i did on my way to Ogden last week, and stop when it gets bad. I wanted to get to Ogden by sunday (load didnt drop till monday) but drove from Cheyenne to mm173 wb and called it quits at that Love's. Night was falling, had not seen many snow plows out to prep the roads, and it was starting to snow harder. No need to chance it....

    and the SLC terminal is kinda like the Gary terminal.....just nicer, cleaner and you dont have to worry about getting shot.
