Wow, that's a TALL grain elevator!

The only Book of Mormon I've seen is the blue version that is distributed for free. I have never seen fancy Books of Mormon similar to the heirloom family Bibles that are prized by many evangelical Christians. Who knows, maybe the Missionary Store sells heirloom Books of Mormon.

Probably the Book of Mormon is also sold in the Missionary Store. :)

Ack - - sounds like someone shot a paintball at a passing person on the trail, huh?

Looks like the Denver & Rio Grande Western trail is 23.5 miles long, FYI. :)

Very nice yellow bushes lining the path! :)

I got no explicit invitations when traveling through Mormon country. The missionary woman I spoke to was friendly for 5 minutes until it was obvious that I wasn't a good prospect. Then she moved on to another visitor. On the contrary, my experience in the southeast U.S. was that EVERY conversation with a friendly stranger ended with an invitation to their church.

The Mission assignment is 24/7 immersion/indoctrination/obedience. You are with your assigned partner ALL the time except in the bathroom. No vacations or weekends off.

These are nice looking houses, but built on such steep grades -- I would be concerned about landslides!

The Bonneville Shoreline Trail would be fun to come down, but I can see is very difficult to go up!

I've never heard of "Queer Food" either! Interesting...

The ugly LDS office building looks very bureaucratic - like an FBI building.

Wow, I didn't know about the handcart emigrants who walked all the way to Utah!

Wow, the young missionary woman isn't "allowed" to travel more than 20 miles from her missionary assignment there...how restricting....

When I was in Salt Lake City, I was approached by some Mormons who wanted to talk with me...about the "message". I told them I "got the message" thanks. :)
