Back in Utah again! Just as Manila was easier to get to from Wyoming, Monticello was only a short drive from Dove Creek. That said, I doubt Thomas Jefferson imagined either of them. I managed to get my courthouse photos in the final rays of the dying sun. Almost couldn’t get a decent one, thank to a series of trees planted out front, but I was able to find at least one good with a good vantage. It was a nice courthouse, which wasn’t a necessarily a given. Since Utah seems weird about that kind of thing, I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I’m guessing that, much like Manila, because it’s so far out it just does its own thing like it has for so long. I also feel I should state that the part of me that believes in the separation of church and state found it more than a little questionable that the county courthouse and a church should share the same space, but I also acknowledge that in Utah such things seem a little more … fluid.
Cachewise, San Juan County was a target rich environment; there were easily half a dozen caches in town that would have worked for my purposes. However, since the Utah County Challenge is cache agnostic, I decided to go ahead and get a Virtual. Which Virtual, you ask?
