Day at the Museum

Hi all
Decided to experience the Natural History Museum of Utah.
Being a Sunday we hoped for a lighter bit of traffic
and the big city cooperated.
The museum is located next to the University of Utah.
It is in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains
and has a great view of Greater Salt Lake City.

You can see from the photo that we are enjoying an inversion layer.
Cold smog laden air settles into the basin and warmer air overhead caps it.

They tell us that the air is safe.
I personally prefer air that I can't see.

The geologic and biologic areas of the museum are great.
Informational and very good displays explaining a lot about the natural history.
The dinosaur displays are excellent
and the first peoples displays gave an excellent overview of the first inhabitants of Utah.
It was definitely worth visiting.

From there, with tired feet, went off to Desert Edge Brewery
to quaff a cold beverage, and some vittles.
Excellent beer and very good food.

Home early evening to relax and have dessert.
Another great day here in West Bountiful, UT
with excellent hosts and guides.

Today we are getting prepped to make the run for home.
Long days and hope to do it in 3 days.

Make your day great
Tom and Millie
