The Kitchen Table

Anyone From Utah?

16 years ago

I got it into my head to request a highway map from each of the 50 states. I know--I have odd hobbies. But I often reach for my road maps when watching the news, like to see exactly where stuff is happening.

So I was going to the various states websites that I don't have maps for, ordering them. Got all the way down to Utah, and it's the only one that I cannot figure out how to get a free, official, state map. Looks like they're charging for them? Is that right? Or is there someplace I missed where you can order the give-away ones?

If you belong to AAA you can get them free there, too.

Your higher elevation than the valley means you will get a wider swing in temperatures during the day--so it may be 75 during the day and freeze at night when it doesn't freeze in the valleys. This makes the spring and fall a riskier time and likely a shorter growing season because of the wider daily temperature swings. At the same time, being higher up than the surrounding valleys, the winter lows and summer highs will probably be milder than in the lower elevations. Not sure how all this translates into gardening selections, other than select trees that are late bloomers and/or plant them on a north facing slope where they will come out of dormancy later in the spring. Ripening times will be a little later than in the valleys due to the lower heat units at your elevation, and you will need to cover your tomatoes a bit earlier than they do in the valleys in the fall.

Do you know anyone who could make this sink in Utah?
Q

I do not have an answer to your question, but I have to tell you that having a bar like that in front of the sink is a PITA. You think it looks charming and different, and you can hang a towel there. But it is so annoying, that those things will diminish, and you will be "what was I thinking". That bar pokes into you each time you stand at the sink. Each time. And, it forces your body to stand farther from the sink, which forces you to have to lean more toward the sink to use the faucet, which will give you a back ache. You can get an apron front stainless steel sink without the bar in front quite easily online. As for the faucet, that faucet has come up for discussion on this forum a couple of times. It is Waterstone 5100, costs about $4500 for standard finish. Many people think it is overly complicated and silly, others love it.

The advantage of getting state maps from places like Welcome centers etc is that they list lots of local stuff that the AAA maps don't show.

I often get AAA maps--but I really don't think they'd appreciate it if I walked in and requested all that don't have (30-40)--LOL. Also, the AAA maps often combine several states on one map--so they're 'scrunched'. I really like B-I-G maps.

And I do like the extra info included on the state maps. I figure, though, that I can fill in any I don't receive with the AAA maps.

thanks for the link, Chubby--don't know how I missed that one in my search, but I've now ordered my last map! Hope they all arrive!

Why not buy a road atlas of the United Sates and possibly Canada. Then, you'd have all the states in one convenient book. These are reasonably priced at Sam's Club and/or book stores.

Thanks, Jemdandy. We do have several atlases--some road atlases, and a couple hardbound world atlases. I actually keep one of the large atlases within reach of the chair where I sit to watch TV. But those maps are very small compared to an actual road map. As I said, I like really big, detailed maps.

And I really do use them frequently, I like to look up where the news is happening as I watch it.

My Chamber of commerce gives me maps for any state when ever I need one. Were traveling to the east this summer so I picked up at least 7 maps and at least that many state books from them.
