    Central Utah, baby!!
    1. Elk, they can be a pain to pack out due to their size and sometimes they're on the roadways.
    2. Mountains, they can block the views, make travel difficult and packing out elk hard work.
    3. Only 2 people per square mile in much of the state. Most people live in a small corridor in the state. That means I have to drive a ways just to enjoy throngs of people.
    4. Over 70% of the land is public. People can just wander around about anywhere. Is that nuts or what?
    5. Thousands of miles of ATV/OHV trails accessible from my driveway. C'mon... how am I going to explore all that? 'Specially, with my husband. We're going to need to buy yet another ATV or UTV. ....sigh...
    6. Five National Parks, oodles of National forests, state parks... They're freaking everywhere. Who has time to see it all? It's a conspiracy to get me to buy more gasoline just to visit a few of them.
    7. It's really, really sunny. I've had to buy TWO pairs of sunglasses since I've moved out here. I look like a fat Yoko Ono. It's terrible.
    8. No humidity. No more sweating the instant you step out of the house. No mildew. It's a tough climate to farm mushrooms.
    9. Really friendly people. Coming from Chicagoland... it can be unnerving.
    10. Guns everywhere.
    11. 80 mph speed limit. More gas consumption.
    12. Low property taxes. I'm suspicious.
    13. Best snow on earth. Or so they tell me. I suppose they expect us to take up skiing too?! And buy a snow machine. It never ends!
    14. $50 bounty on coyotes. This ticks me off because I have yet to kill one. :(


    That's enough for now.

    and those are 14 reasons why the SLC area is in my Top 5 places on where I will transfer to next year.
    And I can tell you from personal experience, it is the best snow on earth. And at least at Deer Valley; no durned snowboarders, either!

    Everything, there is nothing good about this state. It's cold, dangerous and downright horrible.

    The best part is all the liberal asstards moving here to "get away" from all the conservative values.

    Thinking about how awful this place is makes me want to shop for more bullets... to shoot out the silenced 9mm i bought at wal-mart.

    The Twin Cities metro area encompasses 2/3 of the MN population. That area is very liberal and yes very hipster...

    I would say Duluth has a lot of hipsters as well.

    Sports team leadership...about as stupid as the state phrase.

    We don't have any elk or muleys. that and the lottery. I think we lose a lot of money to TN, GA, FL that could be staying here and helping our schools. other than that, Alabama and the Huntsville area are great. I'm still trying to figure out how to keep my current job and swing a job at the new Remington plant when it opens up :)

    I always liked that motto...it means Missourians (?) don't blindly believe everything they're told. Makes sense to me.

    I actually have and didn't notice anything near as bad as the city of Chicago we went through to even get there.

    Cali and Colorado were by far the worst for hipsters that I've ever seen so far. I'm sure a lot depends on where ya go. I may have been in the non hipster parts of Minneapolis and didn't spend a ton of time to begin with.
