Roadtrip- Day 2: Land Of Jell-O And Bees

Day 1 was a success in Klamath, California to see Paul Bunyan. Now we head further east into the great state of Utah- the "Industry State" but better known as the Beehive State.

Today we have a few choices of where to go for B & Corrin's second wedding celebration. The most obvious choice would be the Golden Spike in Brigham City, Utah. According to Brigham City, your future is here. I'm not sure what that means and having been to Brigham City, I have a difficult time believing that. But, we'll play it up for the blog here.

Note the motto on the sign: World's Greatest Game Bird Refuge.

What better location to symbolize the coming together of two people than Brigham City, home of the Golden Spike, where the Transcontinental Railroad was joined together, connecting East and West.

While Brigham City offers the big tourist opportunities, why don't we head off the beaten path and find something a little more...kitschy? Let's head on down to Cedar City, Utah and find the Landlocked Lighthouse.

You'll be pleased to know the lighthouse is taking the responsibility seriously. No ships have crashed upon the curbs of Cedar City in over 25 years. It is just like the giraffe repellent I have been spraying in my yard. I haven't seen a giraffe since I started spraying.


This little beauty does not sit near any major body of water at all. Why a lighthouse near the four corners? Some might say it illuminates inner beauty. We all know that is a crock. In theory this actually is a beacon for a shopping center, but at 88 feet tall, we can only hope there is something more.



Let's recap, shall we? Utah offers us the chance for some symbolism to attach to this wedding. We have brought two parties together, much like the connection of the Transcontinental Railroad. And we have instilled a beacon of light to guide their lives by visiting Cedar City. Is there nothing Utah can't do? They practically hand you Jell-O as you cross the state line. Just don't visit on a Sunday, it is pretty quiet.



Tune in tomorrow to see where we end up. Don't forget to click on Google's links. They like it. This way they can keep my android phone going.
