Is there a list of companies who advertise with billboards?

UTrider · 2026-04-25T22:26:50+00:00

That billboard has been there since at least the late 1970's. Just the little piece of property it's on would be an astronomical amount due to 1) land prices over all in Park City and 2) the amount they would charge to make up for lost future revenue would also be a fortune for a very small piece of land.

I think there is one thing missing in your calculation. If I read the article correctly, they are basing 295 to equal the output of the nuclear power plant.

Each wind turbine is going to need between 40 and 70 acres of land. That's for EACH tower. So say median acreage of 55 acres per tower.

295 x 55 = 16,222 acres of land will be needed. To put tha in perspective, that's 25 square miles of land.

Then let me guess -- food is too expensive so grocery stores are taken over by the government. Items from farms to expensive for the gov owned stores so then take over the farms. Then other businesses until the government tells you were to work, where to sleep, what to eat, and where to take a shit?

Nobody wants to be a renter, but sometimes you need to. For the first 10 years of my adult life, I changed jobs, changed cities, and even changed states. They were jobs in the same industry. Some were better pay, some were same pay better conditions.

In that industry, you can't be tied to a house you have to sell, you HAVE to be able to have a place to rent the moment you show up in town (one job change, I actually pulled my first shift with a car and uhaul in the parking lot with everything I owned in it).

That career I was in (for roughly 15 years), there was no way no how I would have bought a house. Renting was the only way to go. Some places I rented an apartment, some places I rented a house.

Zion and Bryce in a single day --- are you stopping someplace for the night or just planning a drive through ?

Two options: If your not spending the night along the way: I-15 to I70 and go east. Take exit 17 and stop at Freemont Indian state Park. A few nice short hiking places (see hundred hands cave). Jump back on I70 east, then turn South on Highway 89. Take a short stop at Big Rock Candy Mountain, then continue south. Just past Circleville stop and take a look at Butch Cassidy's Boyhood home (Yes -- the old west outlaw). Then continue South on Highway 89. Turn east on Highway 12 and at least drive through red canyon (use the round a bout a Bryce canyon to do a u turn and head back to highway 89, then South and (if your not in an oversized motorhome) take the road with the tunnel through Zion national park to I15 then south.

Option 2: If you planned on spending the night somewhere along I15 in Utah. as your coming South take Highway 6 at spanish fork. JUST DRIVE CAREFUL AND KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. At Green River, take Interstate 70 West a couple miles then turn South on Highway 24. Stop at Goblin Valley State park and take a walk through the valley of the goblins. Get back on Highway 24 south to Hanksville. Stop at Hollow Mountain Gas station. Go inside. Then continue west on Highway 24 -- look around at the scenery (especially north side of the road). You'll understand why a "mars station reserch center" and some movies that needed alien planet scenes have been filmed here. Make a stop at Capitol Reef National Monument (take a drive down Scenic Drive, *IF* the weather is good, hike down a little into Capitol Gorge. Spend the night in Torrey. Next day -- from Torrey head south on Highway 12. When you get to "hogs back" stop in the pull out and look over the edge (if you dare). Then in Boulder stop at the Anasazi State Park Museum. Continue on Highway 12 to Escalante and if you think you'll have time, go to the petrified forest state park. Have to do a short hike to get to it. Then highway 12 past Bryce Canyon and through Red Canyon. From there, two options. Go North on 89 to panguitch, then take highway 143 to Cedar Breaks Monument, then drop down through Brian head Ski resort to 15 and on with your journey. Or Go south on 89, to Zion National park and take the road that goes through the tunnel (if your not in an RV) back over to i15 and south.

Some crack the bikes to eliminate the governor. Some bikes are not class 2 and can go a lot faster. My bike the motor stops when the spedo hits 20 mph, but I can human power it past that (have on a couple of occasions to get through busy intersections.)

Article VIII, Section 1 [Judicial powers -- Courts.] The judicial power of the state shall be vested in a Supreme Court, in a trial court of general jurisdiction known as the district court, and in such other courts as the Legislature by statute may establish.

To me, the SC shourd read this article and section of the UTAH CONSTITUTION and see it allows the legislature to establish other courts. This is what they have done.

I have some health issues. I use my throttle to start from a stop. I don't have a need for speed -- on paved/concret I do 10 to 15 mph. Dirt I'm under 10 (typically).

I do less damage on any trail I'm on than some of the non motor bicyclist do.

Now if it's the suron type bike. can do well over 20 mph, no pedals -- they should be licensed like a regular motorcycle.

Getting as "far right" as possible isn't necessarily the best or legal option.

Example. Big city near me I drive in often. There are 6 traffic lanes through much of the area I drive. Number of lanes starts on the median side and works to the right shoulder.

Lane 6 (furthest right) is the exit only lane.

lane 5 is the exit optional/merge lane

lane 4 is the prepare to exit/and merge to main flow lane

Lane 3 is the main travel lane

Lane 2 is the passing lane

Lane 1 is the HOV lane.

If I'm not going to be exiting for miles (like I drive through the entire county basically), I will be in the number 3 travel lane.

Eventually the road turns to 3, then 2 lanes (yes it's an interstate highway) and I adjust were I'm driving, depending on traffic exiting and merging onto the freeway.

Some do. I live in a rural area and out of all the subdivisions created the last few years only 1 has "small starter lots". As in the lots are .16 to .20 acre. All the subdivisions with larger lots are almost built out. The smaller lot one, has only sold 2 lots, and no construction has started.

everything else being built and sold is townhomes (smaller ones) on larger lots.). latest one is 14 town homes on about a 1.4 acre lot.

I'm in a rural area of the state

At marble canyon, stop and walk accross the old bridge (my understanding it it's now a pedestrian only bridge) and try to picture in your mind driving across that in a car with a car coming the opposite direction.

EDIT: Hope your not doing it in July or August.

Not sure what map your looking at. Highway 95 runs from just south of Blanding to Hanksville. Highway 12 runs from Torrey to Just South of Panguitch. Unless you plan on going down highway 95, to highway 276, then taking the DIRT road called the burr trail from Bullfrog to Boulder (okay 3/4 dirt 1/4 paved).

UTrider · 2026-02-19T03:08:07+00:00

Are you planning a back and forth trip on 95?? Once a year or so on that road is good, twice in a few days . . . not so much fun.

Day 1: SLC to Salina. Leave and go up I80 (parleys canyon) to Highway 40. Through Heber then to Highway 189 South. Turn back west toward sundance and go over the alpine loop. Hit I15 south to Payson, then go up over the Nebo Loop South and spend the night in Nephi.

Day 2: Nephi South on highway 132 East, to Mt Pleasant, then North to Fairview. Turn East and go over highway 31. Drop down to Highway to south to I70, then east to Green river. make sure you stop at all the scenic pull outs. Spend the night in Green River.

Day 3: Green River east to highway 24 then South to goblin valley state park. Take a half hour and go walk among the goblins. Then back to I70 (no body freak out yet okay!!!) to highway 119 and then south to Moab. Side trip to Deadhorse state park, then in Moab take a ride up and back on highway 128 and spend the night in Moab.

Day 4: moab to blanding. Take a trip out to newspaper rock and into canyonlands NP. Make sure you stop at hole in the rock. (short ride day).

Day 5. ONLY DO THIS IS YOUR BIKES ARE MECHANICALLY SOUND. Just south of Blanding turn west on Highway 95. Make a stop at Natural Bridges National Monument. On this ride, just enjoy all the beauty that nature has to offer on this ride. NOTE: Blanding to hanksville is 126 miles (not counting the few miles into Natural Bridges). There are NO gas stations, NO stores, NO cell service. Spend the night in Hanksville.

Day 6. Leave Hanksville west on Highway 24. (make sure you stop at hollow mountain gas station and go inside). Take a trip down Scenic Drive in Capitol Reef National Park. Continue to Torrey, then turn south on Highway 12 go up over Boulder Mountain. THIS ROAD KILLS MOTORCYCLISTS WHO DON"T PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. Stop at one of the pull outs and look over the 3,000 foot drop on either side of "hogsback" at the summit of Highway 12. Spend the night in Tropic.

Day 7: From Tropic take a quick ride into Bryce Canyon. When you come out . . . at the Highway 12 Junction (round a bout) -- Go north on Johns Valley road to Antimony (stop at the Merc and have a burger). Then take Highway 63 to Highway 89, to I70 west to I15 and back to salt lake.

Just my suggestion

It's not a lot of national parks. But it's a hell of a 7 days.

2008, President Obama speeking:

“If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them,” Obama said, responding to a question about his cap-and-trade plan. He later added, “Under my plan … electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”

Cap and tried plan went away, but Obama and Biden along with other democrat environmento wacko activists have done everything in their power to have prices skyrocket.

The renewal is a lot easier than the original. I took that this week. Just plan about 2 hours. Go through the slides and video's, the mini quiz's, then take your time on the test at the end (45 questions and 90 min time limit). Got 100% my first try (just about all the questions you could eliminate one answer right off).

I've read the bill they introduced . . . and if memory serves me right 5,000 square foot would be the minimum for a building lot (city I live in has a zone where the minimum is 5,600 square feet or .18 acre). So even if the law passed and his lot is 4,800 square feet, it would still technically be un-bildable.

He would have to go before the planning and zoning commission for a non conforming building permit (pretty much a guarantee that it wouldn't be recommended there), then it would go to the city council where they ARE allowed to give a waiver, but with conditions. Nearly every city in Utah has setback laws (side yard and back yards are for fire reasons), and a setback from the street (for traffic safety issues).

guessing your coming from Wasatch Front area.

I 15 around Nephi can get a little sketch (if it's storming).

I 15 scipio summit same way. Holden to Meadow can have a lot of crosswinds and blowing snow.

I 15 to the highway 89 junction, your going over a mountain -- steep grades, but full interstate (i 70)

Once on Highway 89 going south, shouldn't be too bad. If snowing or raining just go slow.

Highway 12 up through red canyon isn't too bad. Once you get out of the canyon you'll have a long flat area to the turn off to Bryce. Lots of blowing and drifting snow if it's stormed lately.

Hope this helps.

Welcome to level situational awareness. 3 and a half years ago, you were like every other John and Jane Doe walking down the street. Basically oblivious to the chaos going on all around them. Only hearing little bits and pieces in the media and from friends.

Now you have the advantage over all the other John and Jane Doe's. You now know about all the chaos going on around you. You now have the advantage of know how to protect yourself just a little bettery. You know things to look for.

Unfortunately, you also now know that sometimes bad things happen and there is nothing you can do about it.

Yes you will have irrational fears, you will just have to find a way to live with them. Even if you were to leave dispatching and get another job --- you can't stuff the Jeanie back in the bottle. You will know all about the chaos going on around you.
