Here is a map we found of Utah. Can you find the state Capital? What else does this map provide? Is there a map legend?
Friday Night
Another interesting fact about this area is that it is laid out on a grid plan. This means that most major streets run east-west or north-south. Addresses within this grid plan are all coordinates (very similar to longitude and latitude). We will see if we can find a map that shows you the grid plan layout. Are the streets where you live on a grid layout?
The climate in this city is characterized as a steppe climate. They experience four seasons. Summer and winter are both long. The summers are hot and dry. The winters typically experience snow. Spring experiences the most rain. Salt Lake City receives about 16 inches of precipitation every year. Most snow is lake-effect snow. Do you remember what that is?

Email from Louie:
Did you two have me followed? The two gentlemen who have been following me showed up at this hotel. I don't know how to know if I can trust you.
Email to Louie:
Louie, we aren't tricking you. And we didn't tell ANYONE where you were, except our Uncle GT. You know we are safe. Let's meet up and let us prove it to you. We attached a photo to this email so you know we are "for real." The picture is something we KNOW you enjoy collecting! We will meet you at the Minuteman. The clue is in the quarter. There will be so many people there; it will be safe. But try to meet up with us by first thing Monday AM. Uncle GT and some associates will be there to protect you from the men following you!
