A week ago, I put in my transfer at work. It was a bittersweet moment, but won't feel "real" until i get confirmation that the transfer went through and is official. This could take several weeks, but hopefully not as we need to put in notice to our apartments and start looking at ones in Salt lake City.

I have made a list of places I wanted to go visit, and in many cases, revisit before we hit the road for SLC. Naturally that list is much longer than what is realistic, however there are places here that i never got to visit in my 20 years here (technically 20 years last week).

In my planning of hitting these places in the next 4-7 weeks, I started to look towards the future and what beautiful, exciting and stunning places Utah holds for us! I started to go through my images, and immediately this place is high on my list for Utah, once we get settled in and the cold weather also settles in. You see, the "high season" for southern Utah (Southwest in general) is Spring and Fall. Winter and Summer are the off season with low crowds. So I will most likely be here when the temps are low :)

So while I will be moving from the PNW and not being able to get to most places on a whim (3 day random weekends), I will still visit here several times a year. It is only an 11 hour drive from SLC to PDX.
