About 5 years ago, before my VW days, I drove from Seattle to
Albuquerque.  I had planned to stop just past SLC and got off the
highway at one of the southernmost exits (sorry I don't remember which
one).  I didn't have any plan so I stopped by a gas station and asked
the kid working where I could camp for free.  He gave me directions to
an area just E of SLC right by a river.  The spot was beautiful with
wild sage growing everywhere!  Anyway, you just might want to ask a
local when you get there.

Subject: More Salt Lake City

Well, I might be crazy but I'm going to drive my van from Seattle to
Salt
Lake City on Monday. My plan is to hopefully avoid the heat since I
never
did figure out the airconditioning (like where does it connect in the
back?)

Someone mentioned camping in side canyons while I'm at this trade show.
I
searched online for camping and found a few spots up Cottonwood Canyon
and
at the KOA.

Now I'm debating bringing my dog which might put me in the KOA, or I can
leave her behind which might be smarter....

But - the real question - any recommendations?

Thanks,

Andree
