6/30/08 - Salt Lake City, Utah

We took a free van operated by the LDS church from the KOA campground to the Temple Square area of downtown Salt Lake City. We went on guided tours of several Mormon church buildings, including the Mormon Tabernacle. We attended two organ concerts, one in the Tabernacle and another in the church's new 21,000 seat conference center. This huge building has trees, streams and fountains on its roof. The prism skylights project rainbows on the auditorium seats below. Later we drove out to Antelope Island State Park and took a dip in the Great Salt Lake. Because of the stink, flies, and brine shrimp, this is an experience that most people will only want to do once in their lifetime.
