These states are particularly fun to look at. Nine hour drives aren’t so bad when the topography changes drastically every 30 minutes.
Utah’s topography was particularly epic. We soon found ourselves in the region of Dinosaur. Dinosaur functions as both a city in Colorado and a giant national monument that extends between Colorado and Utah. It is also a glorious haven for dinosaur statues. We picked up our friend Liz and continued on to Salt Lake to catch the end of the Bowebirds‘ set at Kilby Court, the best backyard venue ever.
Other notable fact about Utah: The beer doesn’t work. You can also get in big legal trouble if you are caught with liquor that was not purchased in the state of Utah. You also have to purchase wine at the one state liquor store allotted per city.
But yeah, other than those few alcohol-related differences, Utah is fabulous.
I drove across the country twice. Once when I was 11 and again when I was 13. I kinda missed out on really taking in the scenery aside from reading every damn sign for Wall Drug and Prairie Dog Land.
Those shots of the scenery are really amazing. They look fake.
I forgot to take photos of the 80 signs for “World’s Largest Prairie Dog.” Still regretting not checking it out. Perhaps the next time I’m casually driving between Colorado and Utah.
I dont like the sound of the booze laws in Utah, they are so out of date it is like a bad joke.
the liquor laws aren’t bad… so there’s only 1 liquor store. prices are good. and if you’re in moab, it’s in the center of town (which is small anyway). and they’re not going to catch you if you bring your own with you.
