Things to do in Salt Lake City

So while I'm here I'm developing a list of things that I should do. Here's what I have so far:

- See the temple/temple square

- See the Great Salt Lake

- Go to the photography event at REI

- Go to the trekking in Asia event at REI

- Hike Mt Raymond (in a kilt)

- See Iron Man 2 on IMAX

- Visit Laura

- Go backpacking (still determining where....)

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Drive

So then... I drove from Southern New Mexico up to Salt Lake City in my Subaru. It is awesome. Now most of the way I was not on interstate highways, so I saw an awful lot of country side and all. It also meant that I had a lot of windy roads and all. It was a great drive, I really do like the Outback more than the Ranger. As you can see from the picture I had a little bit of tech with me on the drive. Now, I would eventually like to upgrade my in car radio so that the Sirius is integrated into the car and that would remove one piece of equipment. The line in for the MP3 player rocks. I just need to update my playlists so I don't always have it on random and have Christmas music popping up.

Oh, so I had about 13 hours of driving. I filled up before I left, I had to fill up in Gallup (about 1/4 of a tank left) then i filled up in Moab (about half a tank left) and got into Salt Lake with about a half a tank. Twas rather impressive. Especially coming from the truck. I do really enjoy the little onboard computer. Usually it stays on the outside temp, but it is nice to know the current mpg and my average.
