What do you want from Utah Junkie?

Hi everybody!  Feel free to comment at any time.  It really helps me know what you are looking for in this blog.  As you know the blog is new, so if there are specific topics that you would like included and explained let me know. I am very happy to post articles that answer questions you may have about Utah, recreation, the people, culture, best places, things to do, or whatever your interest might be.  Until then, I will always be posting new things on the site that, hopefully, make your knowledge of Utah better, and your trips/touring more enjoyable.

Top 10 Things YOU Need to Know...

Here's ten humorous "street smarts" you need to know before visiting Utah...

1.  Utah's weather has PMS...and may change patterns or season in a matter of seconds.  So plan ahead.

2.  Everybody in Utah knows that the feud between the BYU football and University of Utah football teams is a hopelessly lost cause...U of U always trumps.  ---Moral of the story (Become a Utah fan.)

3.  Driver Beware: Anybody in the state of Utah will drive like a winged bat out of Hell.

4.  "See ya" means "goodbye."  It's not literal.

5.  Country radio stations are all you're going to get.  (Bring your iPod.)

6.  If you see a lady with gray hair and a bunch of kids shopping...DO NOT call her Grandma.  She's probably the mother.

7.  No we are not polygamists, so don't ask.

8.  The wind always blows...ALWAYS.

9.  One inch of snow is not considered as being very large.  It's usually referred to as a "skiff."

10.  Enjoy your stay and don't eat the Rocky Mountain oysters...they're not oysters.
