Glad you're back in one piece, Neal. Nice tour telling, and some good pics. They reminded me again of one thing, one difference between American and German landscapes. Probably no other country in Europe offers such a big diversity in different landscape and according moods, as Germany. But the single areas in themselves are all quite small, while on some of your pictures the wideness and long range almost sucked me into the picture and really pulled a string inside me. I envy you Americans for the wideness of land you can experience in your place, and the "endless road" there is . I needed to leave Europe and go into the Northafrican desert, so find something like that... which was quite extreme and drastic change, coming from MiddleEurope. It was like getting beamed onto another planet. And when, after a several months long absence, I returned to Germany, it again was like landing on a foreign planet.

You should come to the US for the Subsim meeting, we could plan a road trip through the American West. There's nothing like it :shucks:

Sure is...reminds me of the times of British rule :DL

I'll scan both postcards and post them here if your cool about it.

Well you could say...."I taught you well" :DL

Thanks all! :salute:

Hey Neal, thanks for the postcard. :salute: Australia Post finally decided to get off their backsides and deliver your postcard from Wyoming.

A lot of older buildings around the country are based on the old European architectural styles. This is the old Salt Lake City-County Building, finished in 1894. There is a newer County Complex, but the city government is still housed there.
