We take state route UT-39 from the hotel in Ogden to the factory next to the Great Salt Lake where we are doing our project. Utah is nicknamed the ‘Beehive State’, hence the beehive on the road signs. And the name Utah is derived from the name of the Ute tribe, which means ‘people of the mountains’. Speaking of mountains, it has not snowed much since I first arrived at the Salt Lake City airport two weeks ago.
