Old Roosevelt Airstrip, Utah

Had a beautiful drive this morning over the Wasatch Range.  Beautiful scenery, and lots of camping places, both formal campgrounds and bush camping.  Lots of campers on this last holiday weekend of the summer.

I don't know how I found out about the Old Roosevelt airstrip, now abandoned, but managed to find it with iPad Maps.  Turns out that it's being used today by some kids for a drag strip.  They won't be here tomorrow, so I'll have it to myself.

Now listening to FM 104.5,  'Armed American Radio'.  Continuous angry rants justifying concealed carry, 2nd Amendment justification, etc, etc; all the adverts are for pistols and holsters.......  What a contrast with the mellow Prairie Home Companion on NPR earlier in the day.....

Next morning, lots of smoke haze, so no use trying to fly to the Uinta Mountains, so hit the road.

  2. Yeh, "Angry Rant Radio" is a real good label for it, and there sure is lots of it these days, as you find out when on the road and trying to find radio worth listening to.....
