Day 22

Yesterday we arrived in Salt Lake City after a long 7 hour or so drive from Reno, Nevada. Frisbee Golf was actually a lot of fun. If there are places to play it in South Jersey, I will definitely be practicing my frisbee throw.

We showed up in Salt Lake City probably around 8pm or so judging by the darkness. Our first stop was the Mormon Temple since it was too dark to check out the Great Salt Lake. We went on a free tour and were able to see just how much money is donated to the organization. It was slightly upsetting to see that our two tour guides (girls about our age) were convinced that there was a living prophet on the earth here to give them guidance. All you have to do is donate to the church, and more guidance will be provided! I'm still glad I was able to see the facility, the architecture is amazing. I even got a book of Mormon as a souvenir.

Today we checked out the Great Salt Lake. The area surrounding the lake is covered with a thin layer of white salt with gray mud underneath. We are pretty sure it was low tide since we had to walk out about half a mile to get to the water's edge. Sure is salty. Only after one minute of putting my hands into the water, I had a thin layer of dried white salt covering them. If you are in the area, the Salt Lake is worth seeing. I would have liked to float in it, but the water was very cold.

We then began our drive to Boulder, Colorado. Utah has some cool landscapes to drive through. Wyoming was a bit more plain. A lot of plateaus out in the distance, some mountains here and there. Colorado was really nice to drive through, though it was getting dark by the time we were there. The silhouette of the Rockies was amazing to see out to our West. Upon arriving in Boulder, it ended up being a lot larger, and more commercial than I had imagined. Though, so far just about everywhere I have been is a lot bigger than I had once thought. Tomorrow we will be spending the entire day in Boulder and staying another night.

Soooo thats all for now.
