That You Were Never The Same?
The Utah Travel Guy
If you like learning, talking about, traveling, vacationing, visiting or even living in Utah, then you’ll probably like The Utah Travel Guy Blog.
If you don’t care about any of these things, you probably won’t.
The Utah Travel Guy blog keeps you updated about all things related to traveling in and visiting Utah.
And it ...
• will let you know when any new web pages or blog entries are added to Utah Travel Secrets.
• will tell you about new or previously unmentioned places to see or things to do.
• will let you know about some of the past additions to this blog you may have missed.
• will hopefully … at times … entertain you.
Utah is a great place to live in my opinion. But because it has one predominant religion and one dominant political party (although not quite so much as they used to be), it’s an easy target for some people … both inside and outside its borders … to take shots at.
I take my own when I see fit.
