UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

I've been here a couple decades now, seeing more and more people from out of state move in nearby and I think it's great.

 

You ever see the "visit Idaho" ads on Facebook? comments from the locals are hilarious

 

I reviewed your post history. It's a solid "meh"

 

Comments below are a good read. I don't think Utah has gotten to this point yet ... but @DarthPow may tip the balance

 

Like half those comments are like borderline true though. White supremacists, sage brush, etc

 

Speaking of people invading your state, anyone interested in a meet up and running the Cathedral Valley Loop in Capitol Reef with me when we show up in September. Will be Sunday 09/15 shooting for a morning start so we can have the late afternoon to chill at the hotel.


Also AZ is now full too

 

AZ is full of Californians! They are invading everywhere. I like to say I'm a refugee from the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia. I've been in UT I think 6 years now?

I think people are totally fine with outsiders moving in, as long as they are okay adopting the values/ideas of the locality they move to. If you move from screwed up CA and try to make your new home just like it, damn right people aren't going to want you.

Also someone above who was thinking about heading up Uintas/Norway flats, I am also planning on tomorrow, little fishing or something, let me know if you go!

 

Ha, we had a guest from Texas this week and that's all he talked about!

 

I like to think I fall closer to "decent" than "meh" but I've always been a bit conceited.

 

Typical Californian











You're a good dude from what I can tell, I'm just teasin.

 

Haha thanks man.

I've noticed that everywhere I look, every one is like "dont move here"

Even here in LA, I hear that a lot. It's really hard to tell how much of it joking, and in good fun, and how much is serious.

Especially as someone looking to move, I'm a little wary about going someplace and being resented or looked down on, judged, etc for being a transplant.

But at the end of the day, I know most people will be cool, and I'll avoid the ones who aren't!

 

Just don’t say “Nevaahhda” or ”Coloraahhdo” and you’ll fit right in.

 

What part of Utah are you looking? If it’s SLC, honestly, it’s a big melting pot at this point. Everyone is from somewhere else and no one gives a shit

 

I've lived in Idaho, the comments are true.

When a coworker moved in from Texas she struggled with the locals. She was appalled when the missionaries showed up on her door step. Her catholic church even offered classes on how to live here. When a church has to offer classes on how to live someplace, that says something. (not a good thing, but something)

Utah sucks - seriously. The problem is everywhere else sucks worse.

 

Yea SLC is where we're looking. We haven't made any solid steps to actually moving yet though, just kind of a future plan thing.

 

I'll have a spare room you can crash in starting in a few weeks if you and yours need to come visit to house hunt or whatever.

 

Thanks man, I'll definitely hit you up if we come over for a visit. At least grab a beer and some food.

 

You got it man!
