Hello,
Welcome, I'm new here as well.
I lived in Orem for five years about 65 miles south of where you're located. Beautiful country up there. I really enjoyed it.
I'm back in Arizona now, which has it's own advantages, but sometimes I miss being 5 minutes from the mouth of the canyon. When I lived in Utah I could leave work by 5:00 and by 5:15 be in the middle of the canyon knee deep in the Provo river with a fly pole. I didn't take advantage of it nearly as much as I should have.
