First, let me say that I have never been to Utah before and that next time I come back I'm bringing my XJ!

My company sent me to American fork to Fluke/Hart Scientific for training.
When I got here on Sunday it was cold and raining and overcast. The clouds broke later that day and man, what a beautiful area! Snow covered mountains and beauty all around. I've lived in the west before but forgot how gorgeous it was.

One of the engineers is a wheeler (his rig is a Range Rover) and the training coordinator,(I'll call her Judy) not her real name, was driving an XJ with about a 6" Skyjacker long arm lift, roof rack,full size spare on top, high lift jack, 35" tires and running a dana 44 and a locker in the front. She had to be about 5' tall. WOW!!! What a looker! (the XJ) get your mind out of the gutter. I'm a happily married man!

I got to drive up the Alpine loop from both sides, the part from Sundance to the other sige was still closed due to snow. it opens tomorrow , but I will be back on a plane in the morning going homr to hug my XJ! Oh. and the wife and kids. I did miss them too! LOL!

Appreciate what you have here I love it and I will return!
I want to go wheeling in Utah!

 

Well when you come back make sure you let us know on the northern UT BS thread! We will be more than happy to show you some trails!!! Glad you enjoyed yourself

 

Butterfield canyon is an awesome drive, & could be done in a rental car! It's only a 2 hour drive round trip from lehi, & you can see the whole SL valley as well as look down into the cennicot copper mine!

 

are you kidding me? I was staying at Thanksgiving point in Lehi! And my "rental was AWD escape! (they didn't have any Jeeps ). I'm kicking myself for getting on CF sooner!
I had plenty of time between 5:00 and sunset!

 

Yep oh well next time.

A lot of people here don't value the views we have the luxury to enjoy every day!

 

And thanks for that. I certainly will!
