I was curious too, did some digging. Best I can gather is it's a pre-fixe menu for the private dining area.

A little bit of white hanging on from a storm Tuesday night. Counting down the days...

I'm moving back home to Louisiana in January. From North Carolina.

Yikes. Hope you have a good reason. I couldn't imagine moving back after living in a place with mountains and seasons.

To the OP: No final straw, but La being 50th in everything got really old to me. Living in a top 5 state really is all it's cracked up to be.

Looks like we're gonna top out at 68º in North Ogden. With some much needed rain.

And only 65º tomorrow :nana:

First weekend in October. With a day or two on either end.

Leaves should still be pretty in the mountains, if not right at peak.

Little Cottonwood Canyon - White Pine trail has a lot of aspens. You don't need to walk super far to see them. Lisa Falls. Tram ride at snowbird. Cecret Lake.

Big Cottonwood Canyon - Brighton Lakes Loop. Donut Falls. One of the coolest hikes in Northern Utah is to Lake Blanche. It is pretty exhausting (about 3.5 miles one way uphill), but worth it for the views. Drive over Guardsman Pass to Heber/Park City. I like the scenery and drive in BC over LC, but both are great.

American Fork Canyon - Stewart Falls and Primrose Overlook are two great fall hikes that aren't super difficult. You can also drive over to Heber from this road (Alpine Loop), it's beautiful. Trumps both Cottonwoods IMO. Sundance resort is here, but it's more towards the Provo Canyon side of the road.

It's gonna be a busy time, so start early and expect traffic/dumbass drivers. The roads are narrow up top, so smaller vehicle would be better.

SLC surprisingly has a few good breweries. Red Rock is my favorite and they have good food as well. TF, Kiitos, and Bewilder are close by in the city. Bohemian makes a lot of German beer, and has delicious food to match. That would be closer to Snowbird.

If you want fancy dinners, Franck's, La Caille, Log Haven, Mur y Montana are a good mix spread around the area. High West has great food (and whiskey of course) as well.

My favorite restaurant in SLC was called Provisions. They closed in July sadly, but if you follow on instagram, the chef still does tasting menu dinners every few weeks. Not sure if they will have one while you're here, but it would be well worth it if so.

Breck would be my recommendation for Colorado. Or the town of Frisco (right before of Breck) for more options. You could easily drive between both if you needed.

If you wanted to come to Utah, Park City would have everything you are looking for. Sundance or Snowbird for lodging if you wanted something a little less touristy. And you could still get to PC easily.

Do you know anyone with a camp on the water? I have friends that have a camp on Hwy. 90 outside N.O. city limits heading east and they will gladly take "rip-rap" aka broken up concrete, oyster shells, etc. to use as a breakwater on the water's edge to help with erosion.

I live in Utah. Maybe I could just dump it in the Great Salt Lake :Dunno:

What condition is the slab?

It's two different sections. One looks perfect and the other has cracked due to some sinking. I'll probably try the sledgehammer on that side first.

How are you disposing of the concrete?

---

Not sure yet, I saw a company off the interstate the other day that said they do concrete recycling. But I haven't contacted them yet.

Anyone done this? I am demoing an old deck in my back yard, and the concrete underneath is not what I hoped. It's around 12x15 ft area and a few stairs.

Is it relatively easy for someone strong and mechanically inclined?
Is 1 day enough for the rental?
This one good enough?
