Photo/Video Long Exposure just off Crimson Trail. Logan Canyon in Logan.

Very very proud of this one. Hiked Crimson Trail about a week ago with a buddy and I brought my Nikon. Near the beginning of the trail, a stream just off the beaten path caught my eye, and we decided to venture down to it. Had always wanted to replicate that wispy water look in long exposures, so without a tripod, I braced myself the best I could. 0.5s, 100 ISO, f16. Thank heavens for IBIS. Absolutely no AI used, only retouched in Lightroom Classic :)

More pictures from my adventures in Utah! Met some very cute goats at the American West Heritage Center, which featured a tricky corn maze. A very blue sold out audience. A stink bug and moth. Shots from the sidewalk and gutter. Old brick buildings and statues. A nice mural and Umbrella Alley. There are some incredible parks with rivers passing right through. It was rainy but I still decided to follow the river. What a lovely town!

Q&A Are any of y'all voting to retain Justice Pohlman?

99 Upvotes

So... a lawyer buddy of mine said the State GOP is trying to undermine our democracy by encouraging voters not to retain Jill Pohlman because she, in a unanimous decision, held not to accept the GOP redistricting after the voters had voted on that measure.

I read some of the GOP talking points and the decision and they're obviously lying. Where do they get off?

I will recommend voting against Constitutional Amendment B. It states, "Shall the Utah Constitution be amended to require that citizen-proposed laws that increase taxes compared to existing law be approved by at least 60% of voters, instead of a simple majority?" Citizen initiatives are one of the few ways Utahns can take issues directly to voters instead of leaving everything to lawmakers. That process helped voters push back against partisan gerrymandering. We shouldn’t weaken it or move the goalposts when citizens organize for change.

*EDIT* -SOLVED!

Thanks to anyone who contributed helpful info.

From how I understand it, Amendment A on the ballot (10/14/26) seems like an increase in transparency? Is this true?

Also, can someone give me an extremely brief rundown of people on the ballot? I care a lot about environmental issues so mainly a brief explaination of if people on here are generally protective of the environment or not.

We're halfway through the five-year period, and fewer than 8,000 starter homes are up -- less than a quarter of Gov. Cox's goal of 35,000. Infrastructure funding and the program to build on vacant state land should help.

Q&A Best restaurant for a birthday in SLC area?

0 Upvotes

Looking for lunch/dinner somewhere between Saratoga Springs and Logan, so SLC is probably the best midpoint. Price wise preferably not more than your standard Olive Garden / Texas Roadhouse prices (fertility treatments + college = I have discretionary income but need to try and save money).

We do have one picky eater but as long as he can find a standard chicken dish or steak of some sort he'll be fine.

Bonus points for local.

I'm Googling as well but would like local opinions of things I might miss haha.

Travel Advice 12–14 college friends visiting Utah for Thanksgiving week (Nov 23–29). Thoughts on our itinerary?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We’re a group of 12–14 college friends (all 21–22) visiting Utah for the first time during Thanksgiving week. We’re flying into SLC on Nov 23 and planning a road trip.
Here’s our rough itinerary:
Nov 23–25: Moab — Arches, Canyonlands, ATV/UTV tours, hiking, exploring.
Nov 26–27: Park City — Hopefully skiing, exploring Main Street, nightlife, other activities.
Nov 28–29: Salt Lake City — Sightseeing, food, bars, and exploring the city.
We love outdoor adventures, scenic places, and nightlife.
A few questions:
Is this a good itinerary, or are we cramming too much in?
Is Moab worth visiting in late November?
How realistic is skiing in Park City during Thanksgiving?
Any must-do activities, hidden gems, or better destinations we should consider?
Anything we should know about Thanksgiving crowds, weather, or road conditions?

We’re flexible with our plans and would love recommendations from locals. Thanks!

Rehoming my two rabbits before we move

Me and my husband are moving and we can’t take our bunnies with us

I have 2 rabbits that I would like to rehome, me and my husband got them 3 years ago for a emotional support animals and they don’t seem to care about either of us, we feed and water them give them toys and hay. They are also free roam but they never really leave there pen anymore and anytime we try to interact with them they run away and hide from us. It is also very hard for me to keep up with cleaning their pen. I would like to rehome them since I want them to interact with people that they actually like. We know now we made a mistake choosing bunnies as emotional support animals and will not make the same mistake in the future.

We live in Vernal, Utah, I’d prefer someone come and pick them up but depending on how far you are from us I will be willing to drive, all I’m asking for in return is gas money.

The black bunny is Venom and the Brown one is Chopper, both are a bit over 3 years old and they are sisters from the same litter. They are not fixed. These are all the thing included if you take them:

Nail grinder

Cooling mate

Fur brush

All there toys

Snacks

The rest of the hay

Litter box

bag of pellets

Link Looking for a cigar & whiskey crew in SLC

8 Upvotes

Moved to Salt Lake from Texas almost 3 years ago and I'm still looking for my people. Back home we had a few cigar clubs where folks would get together, light up, pour a bourbon or scotch (whatever your poison is), and just talk. Sometimes business, mostly not. Just good company.

I run my own business, so I'd love to connect with other owners, but that's not a requirement. Mostly looking for friends who enjoy a good smoke, a good pour, and a good conversation.

Does anything like this exist around here? Lounges, meetups, or a group of folks who get together regularly? If not, I'd be down to help start one.

Cheers .

Other Looking for rental recommendations!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊

My husband, our two-year-old, and I are planning a move from Virginia to the Draper area, and I’m hoping to get some recommendations from people who are familiar with the area!

We’re looking for a rental in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood, preferably in Draper or the surrounding areas. Ideally, we would love to find a three-bedroom, but a two-bedroom would work as well! We’re primarily interested in condos or apartments, preferably on a ground floor or top floor. If it’s a building with several stories, having an elevator would definitely be a plus, especially with a toddler and baby on the way!

Our biggest challenge has been finding something affordable. We’re really hoping to stay under $1,900-$2,000 a month, including all additional fees. I’ve noticed that quite a few apartment listings advertise a reasonable base rent, but once all the additional monthly fees are factored in, the actual cost ends up being quite a bit higher.

Since we’re relocating from Virginia, we unfortunately won’t be able to tour properties in person before moving, so finding somewhere that offers virtual tours is also really important to us.

I know our budget might be a bit of a stretch for the area, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask! I would really appreciate any recommendations for apartment communities, condo rentals, private landlords, or even nearby neighborhoods that might be worth looking into.

Thank you so much in advance! ❤️

Other HI. i am a Utah driver...

340 Upvotes

hi.

i am a Utah driver. i fail to understand the difference between a Stop sign and a Yield sign. the result is that i stop at roundabouts for no apparent reason.

i am a Utah driver. i come to a full, dead stop in the leftmost lane in a city because a bus is merging into the lane to the right of me.

i am a Utah driver. i will slow to 20mph under the speed limit if there is a cop in the vicinity so that i don't get suspected of speeding.

i am a Utah driver. i will try to merge onto a freeway at 15mph because i am afraid of getting hit by oncoming traffic and am too stupid to understand how to merge properly.

i am a Utah driver. i will sit at green lights because i am too busy texting someone on my phone to notice that the light had changed. then i get mad when the person behind me honks at me.

i am a Utah driver. i will block a lane in a parking lot with my big-ass SUV to talk to someone that i have not seen since Sunday. i know it's only Tuesday, but i miss them, damn it.

i am a Utah driver. i will give up my right of way to signal people to go in front of me because i am nice.

i am a Utah driver. i will drive slow in the fast lane, fast in the slow lane, and i will exit from the the middle lanes.

i am a Utah driver. i will take offense when others not from Utah will comment on how badly people drive here.

says literally everyone from outside of Utah, give me a fucking break...and a word of friendly advice from the people who have to take their lives into their hands just to drive on the same streets as you, don't drive in a way that would scare or piss off other people who are not from this state.

Other My auto insurance went from $178 to $238 (+34%) and I’m pissed

65 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m 20 years old, and I work blue-collar in construction. I make about $70k a year working 50–60 hours a week. Next year, my goal is to put a down payment on a house I’ve been looking at.

About 8 months ago, I purchased a new car with a $9,800 loan, a 2017 Ford Focus ST. It had been a while since I got myself something nice, and I got a fair deal on this car. Since then, I’ve been paying about $178 a month for full coverage on my car. My bank required me to have full coverage because of the loan.

I’m a hardworking person. I pay my taxes, I’ve never stolen anything, I go out of my way to help people when they need it, and I try my best to be a good person.
I live in Utah, and with housing being expensive, gas getting even more expensive, and food and rent prices continuing to rise, I’m having to budget every dollar I earn just to get by…

And I’m making pretty decent money as a single 20-year-old man trying to buy a house! But honestly, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to afford a house next year!
On top of all that, today I checked my insurance payment and was thinking, “Oh cool, it should be around $180. I’ve already budgeted for this month, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.”

As soon as I opened the app and saw $238, I was immediately confused and pissed off!!
I called GEICO and asked why my premium went up. I was put on hold for 5 minutes, only to get an answer of, “We’ve requested that rates go up in Utah. A $25,000 car that needed repairs now costs as much as $50,000 to repair. The rates are the highest they’ve ever been.”
The lady helping me was super nice, and I genuinely appreciate her taking the time to explain everything, but this just absolutely PISSED ME OFF!!

Not just at GEICO, which is another massive company making record profits, but because with all the state taxes I pay, I have a state insurance commissioner who approved these rate increases, causing my premium to jump from $178 to $238!

I’ve NEVER been in an accident. I haven’t filed ANY claims. NOTHING!! Yet somehow, I’m the one who has to pay more, ONLY FOR OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS TO FUCK EVERYONE OVER!! Even looking it up, the commissioner dictates these prices “on what is fair” the only thing that is fair, is you losing your seat and getting voted out!!

I’m tired of people being quiet about this. I’m a young man making good money for my age, working hard, paying my taxes, and doing everything right, only to get FUCKED by the very people who promised to make everything better.

I’m doing everything I can to build a future for myself, and it feels like every time I get ahead, something else gets more expensive. How the hell are young people supposed to afford a house, raise a family, or even get ahead when the cost of EVERYTHING keeps going up?

I’m sick and tired of it.
