Considering a move to Utah (SLC area)

[Sawin]

Utah Is the place. We're waiting for some things to gel, before selling the homestead. The spouse is on web sites 2-3x a week looking at places between the state line and where 70/15 intersect.

I'd personally love the idea of being altogether away from the city, like you'll be, Jim.... but I need to factor in my career and income quite a bit still. We're a few million short of retiring I know my wife would get stir crazy if we were really isolated for a long time too. If we wind up out there, I'll definitely give you a shout though! I hope you and Mrs. Kazoo find your ideal place to live!

Outside the Mormon " empire" and multiple Church steeples in larger areas. The Biggest structure we saw no matter how far off the interstate said town was. The American Flag, be it over the plains or tree tops. High and proud it flew.
In Co the only place we've seen flags as big were...............Car Lots.

Check out East Texas, Tyler, Longview. We found this to be the paradise of Texas. It's wet and green and lot's of great hunting and fishing.

Good for carnations too.

I spent three semesters in Nacogdoches, and hunted whitetail and pigs near Tyler in my youth. East Texas is a nice place to be.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I've never been to that part of TX, so i'll have to make a point to take a quick weekend trip down there soon.

I grew up in east TX. Mom still lives there. If you like sweltering heat and very high humidity, it's the perfect place.

That's what my wife said, and evidently not unlike where I grew up in GA... According to her, TX is very low on our list.

Well, we've pinned down the better part of a week (5days) when we're going to pay SLC and the surrounding area a visit a little later this summer. I fully intend to ask some locals that we stumble upon (wait-staff, hotel manager(s), friendly folks on the street, etc.) some very pointed questions about being non-LDS in that area... I hope to find some folks who are not LDS and get their true, real time perspective on it. I can tell a lot by their face and body language simply when i ask the question...

I'm intending to focus more on the northern side of the city, up to Ogden, to get a feel for the suburbs unless someone tells me otherwise.

Are there any "Must Do's/See's" while we're out there, even just from a tourist's perspective?
