Description Southern Utah is a beautiful area. It's very different from the Northern part where Salt Lake City is. This is a view from a rest area off the Freeway. Really just a shot from my trip. But I am always awed by our country, it's vastness and varied beauty makes me happy I am free to explore it as often as I like.

beautiful photo. I love utah. Jeremiah Johnson is one of my favorite movies and the entire thing was filmed in Utah.

I have been to Lake Powell in southern Utah and I can say that it is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been.

Because of the strick Mormon moral code though, you also find lots of genuine honesty... I rather like that.

shubat In reply to myrnajacobs [2005-11-18 22:11:22 +0000 UTC]

honesty is good. polyamory is probably not so good.

myrnajacobs In reply to shubat [2005-11-19 00:22:46 +0000 UTC]

According to my brother (who turned Mormon late in life), polygamy is not part of their thing anymore... though there are some folks (like Orthodox mormon or something) that still practice.

'save the mormans'..... he he....


Left a great leather jacket in a restaurant driving through a predominantly morman city... and was thankful for their moral code. The jacket arrived via UPS in perfect condition! And it couldn't have been easy to find our address... had to call the credit card company and stuff like that. Amazing!

I don't know much about Mormonism...even though my brother converted to it when he was in his 40s. His life is definitely better...something about giving him boundaries that I think he needed... and something to lean on that is stable. Some folks need that.

I'm pretty open to religions of any kind as long as they allow the person to get better and encourage responsibility for self and your own actions (no shifting if off to the devil). I dislike bigots of any kind... christian or any kind at all.

it really is amazing how different this country can be.

my grandfather lived and died in utah, i'm going there over the summer, i look forward to it. it's so strange, how i ended up in north carolina of all places! i do belong out west. this is just a lovely shot so open.

myrnajacobs In reply to Dreamstress [2005-10-31 05:47:18 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I've always enjoyed being in Utah. the only part I didn't like was going west from SLC towards Nevada and the Sierras. It's so desolate, it's almost scary.

But all the rest is quite wonderful! You should have a nice time.
