Hi Everybody,

We may have to move within a 100 mile radius of SLC in Utah.

My wife may get her dream of singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Any Hogs that way that can help me out with what kinds of places are nice to live at ?

Please PM or e-mail me.
 
Dang, You sure move alot:D


If you do I will be forced to come visit you and fondle your knives:thumbup:

I lived in Provo for about 6 years.

Great place, if you could just get rid of 90 percent of the people (Too many cars, and rich kids with their parents cars, with no idea how to drive, especially in the snow).

Driving on the freeway, if you are doing 10 over the speed limit, you darned well better keep your but in the slow lane, because everyone will be passing you at 20 over!


One of my family members just got a 700,000 house for 300,000. Fantastic house!

One thing I will tell you, is if you live in any the towns near SLC, you have a lot of great mountains and fun stuff to do. 4 or 5 great ski/snowboard hills very close by.

Heber is a great little mountain valley, 40 minutes from Provo. About 45 minutes to an hour to SLC the other direction (through Park City).
 
Congratulations!

Also, the Highland, Alpine, Cedar Hills & Draper areas are very nice... Close to American Fork canyon (Timpanogos Mtn & Caves)--which is fantastic, and not a bad drive to Downtown Salt Lake or Temple Square (where she'll be rehearsing, etc...)


...a number of Utah HOG's roam that small, but venerable area...
;)
 
We also have nine mile canyon which they call the worlds longest art gallery. It is full of Indian Petroglyphs.

It is about 4 hours from salt lake and is definately worth checking out.

Here is some info I copied from Wikipedia.



It has been conservatively estimated that there are at least 1,000 rock art sites in the canyon, containing a total of more than 10,000 individual images. The true figures may be ten times as high, but there is no question that rock art is more concentrated here than anywhere else in North America. The majority is in the form of pecked petroglyphs, and there are many painted pictographs as well. Researchers have also identified hundreds of pit-houses, rock shelters, and granaries, although only a limited amount of actual excavation has been carried out to date. Many of these structures are located high above the canyon floor on cliff ledges, pinnacles, and mesas. They were built by the Fremont, whose presence in Nine Mile has been dated at AD 950–1250. Indeed, Nine Mile Canyon was one of the locations most heavily occupied by the Fremont. In contrast to the purely hunter-gatherer cultures that surrounded them, the Fremont practiced agriculture, growing corn and squash along the canyon bottom. Compared to other Fremont areas, relatively little pottery is found in Nine Mile, suggesting that beans, which must be boiled for hours to become edible, were not an important part of the local diet. The Fremont left irrigation ditches and earthen lodges on the canyon floor that could be seen as late as the 1930s, but are no longer visible after generations of modern cultivation.

By the 16th century the ancestral Utes were in the canyon. They added to the rock art already on the walls, but in styles of their own. For example, many scenes depict Ute hunters on horseback, which date to the 1800s. Despite the impressive quantity of Ute artifacts found in Nine Mile, there is no archaeological evidence of any Ute camps or residences.
 
Just moved away from Utah, was in salt lake. I'm not Mormon, but if I was I would figure out a way to live the rest of my life in heber at the foot of timpanogas. Heaven on earth.
 
Off the real estate topic-- singing in the MTC is BIG TIME! Congrtatulations to your wife; I hope it works out for her.
 
Within the same drive you are doing now, you could be in the area around Malad City, ID and have the same commute.

A friend of mine lives in the Ogden area... too many people for my taste.

Anywhere in the mountains east or northeast of SLC would get you closer to your dream, too. Logan is nice and the towns around Bear Lake are really pretty too.;)
