Day 1 - Monday: Travel/Setup
We had the booth and some other stuff delivered to TASC near Salt Lake. So we had to run up north to pick-up that stuff!
|
|
|
The grow the mountains a little bigger than we do in Dayton!
|
|
|
We drove as high as we could into this new housing complex that was being built.
|
|
|
These homes were a little on the expensive side!
|
|
|
Our 'ride' fit right in. This thing was great for heading up the side of a mountain!
|
|
|
The Salt Palace!
|
|
|
The Salt Palace - Again!
|
|
|
Here we are amazed that we didn't forget anything. Barbara thinks that there is just something missing!
|
|
|
For dinner that night we ate at 'The Old Salt Lake Jail'.
|
|
|
I had to bail them out!
|
|
|
Day 2 - Tuesday: First day of the show.
Barbara figured out what was missing and bought some flowers for the booth!
|
|
|
Day 3 - Wednesday: Second day of the show.
We were VERY busy. People expressed great interest in what we are doing!
By now we are getting a little smarter. We are splitting up the booth load so that we can check out the other technologies at the show.
|
|
|
Greg and I also did a little site seeing. Here is the Great Salt Lake!
|
|
|
More lake and the Bingham copper smeltering plant in the background.
|
|
|
More lake. The wind was pretty high, so we didn't see any boats on the lake.
|
|
|
This looked out of place! It is right on the lake, just a couple hundred yards from the SL beach.
|
|
|
Lou didn't join us for dinner. We went to the 'Hard Rock Cafe'.
|
|
|
We should have had our picture taken before dinner!
|
|
|
Day 4 - Thursday: Last day of show/clean-up.
A couple more hours of show, then teardown today.
|
|
|
Leaving the Salt Palace!
|
|
|
We had to drive the booth back up to Layton. Aren't the mountains incredible!!
|
|
|
We still had a little time before dinner so we decided to go through Temple Square.
The Mormon faith is a man (Joseph Smith) selling the same lie that Satan offered to Eve in the garden (..'you can be like a god!'). Mormons are fine upstanding citizens, however, they believe 'another gospel'.
|
|
|
This is the Assembly Hall - built in 1882. Concerts are held here.
|
|
|
The Mormon Tabernacle seats 6,000. The dome shaped auditorium is so acoustically sensitive that a pin dropped at the pulpit can be clearly heard at the back of the hall, 170 feet away. The tabernacle is also home to one of the world's great musical instruments, a magnificent pipe organ with 11,623 pipes.
|
|
|
The Salt Lake Temple is topped with six finial spires. The angel moroni is on the center spire.
|
|
|
A shot from the observation deck (26th floor) of the Church Office Building.
|
|
|
The temple ... and AFMC KM??
|
|
|
The mountains are simply incredible!
|
|
|
The Joseph Smith Memorial Building (formerly Hotel Utah). Visitors may use computers in the FamilySearch center to find information about their ancestors.
|
|
|
Day 5 - Heading Home.
On the way to the airport we stopped at the Kennecott Bingham Canyon Mine.
|
|
|
The Kennecott Bingham Canyon Mine is a pit mine more than a half-mile deep and two-and-a-half miles wide. It is one of two man made objects visible from space. The other is the Great Wall of China!
|
|
|
The mine has yielded more than 15 million tons of copper and is the largest man made excavation in the world!
|
|
|
Big equipment!
|
|
|
We were the only visitors in the center ... she was very kind. She even gave us pins!
