Day 20 - Salt Lake City, Utah

Hudson 1949 Super 6

There is not much to say about Price but we did meet Fred at our motel and he was driving from Minnesota to New Mexico in his Hudson. It just happens to be one of Paul's favourite classic cars.

Salt Lake City is building a new transport system to link the city to the airport and this has created a number of transport problems and this combined with the county fair meant it was a bit chaotic driving around the city. In contrast to this choas the heart of Salt Lake City is Temple Square the world headquartes of the Mormon Church. The area is well maintained and serene and the gardens beautiful. We were able go into the Mormon Tabernacle where the choir were practising. There are a number of buildings located within the 35 acres and these include; the Assembly Hall, Family History Library, Conference Centre (seats 21,000), office buildings and the Salt Lake Temple. It was well worth a visit.
