Today was a rest day to look after some mundane needs (laundry, bike servicing, banking, shopping etc.) but also to visit the Utah State Capitol. An impressive hill top edifice of marble spacious plazas, grounds – and views from all directions.
With temperatures in the low 20’s (Celsius) it was a perfect day for a visit. A number of tour groups were milling about, varying from tour groups from southeast Asia to the local school kids out on a field trip.
(one wonder’s if they thought these were tributes to Mustafa and Simba)
Like many of the western states we have visited, the house was not in session, and the governor was out of the capitol, so after a quick trip to the gift shop we grabbed an Uber and returned to Harrison Eurosports to pickup our motorcycles after servicing. Lot’s of business there – with a fleet of motorcycles outside the doors awaiting servicing (including this Utah Highway Patrol R-1250 RT police special)
With our afternoon free we took in a show at the local Multi-plex and grabbed a bite, and learning along the way that the Larry H Miller Family is prominent (our serviceman said they own half the state along with the Utah Jazz)
A successful rest day, we’re ready to hit the road again tomorrow.
