Salt Lake City

We traveled down the mountain range called the two sisters mountains which led us down into Salt Lake City. We were staying at the KOA which was located in the middle of town. A nice park with fairly large sites. We were scheduled to shoot an American RVer webisode at MotoSat which is located on the other side of town. They were nice enough to pay for our stay at the KOA.

Motosat makes satellite dishes and associated equipment. What I did not know was that they actually manufacture almost all of their products in house! Royal Lamb, one of the partners of MotoSat and VP of Sales gave us a tour of the facility and did the interview with us for the show. He is a wealth of knowledge and we learned a lot about the MotoSat operation. This will be a very interesting show! Check it out when it is done....It will be show #43.

The following day we went back to MotoSat to interview the man with the "green" RV, Brian Brawdy. He is well known in the RV circles for his survival knowledge and for his Jayco truck camper being equipped with solar and wind power as well as other self sustaining products. He and his publicist, Ashley were very nice folks and we enjoyed meeting them and doing an interview with Brian.

On Saturday, we drove to Temple Square and did our tourist thing. We
walked in through the west gate and into the Tabernacle. There was a group of students there from the University getting a lesson on the altar/stage and we heard a student playing a violin and the sound was perfect! I can imagine what the choir would sound like.

We then went into the visitor center and learned how the Temple was built. There were many students around the visitor center and two young ladies gave us a nice tour in the center. Outside, students were replacing flowers in the flower beds. Also outside were nearly 60 weddings going on today! Yes I said six zero! Amazing.

We next went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. The building was beautiful, full of gold leaf, chandeliers and huge columns. We were told we must go up to the 10th floor and look down upon the city, which we did. What a view point! It was the perfect ending to our visit to Salt Lake City.
