I moved to Utah in '79........from west PA.......
now a native
and still not Mormon...
would not go anywhere else......relatively safe...lots of space
one spot about two hrs from here....looks like heaven on earth...
North base of the Boulder Mtn's...Henry's near by...Lake Powell...
Not sure about all the 'locals'...one beautiful place....maybe too
many tree huggers near by.......
