What the hell is the point of Utah?

I spent 8 hours of my life driving across Utah yesterday, and I fail to see the point of the thing.

The entire state is a god damn wasteland. It's all rock, dust and dead grass. There arn't even any fucking trees. It was brown, dear god it was all brown. You just keep driving and driving, and the nothing just continues. Who in their right mind came out west, saw Utah, and said "Jackpot! This is it!"

Something like 90% of the people in Utah live in one damn city. That just aint right. What few billboards I saw advertised attraction two states away, in Nevada.

I drove across Nebraska, which was also deserted, but Nebraska has farms and greenery, and also a huge ass arch randomly across the interstate. At least Iowa has the worlds larges truck stop. Utah has salt. Vast expanses of salted earth. What the hell.

Sure you can see interesting rocks and mountains in Utah, but after the first one they all look the same. After I saw my first "Next gas 110 miles" sigh, I knew I was in trouble. Fucking desolate waste of sp...oh shit there's free porno on tv.

In short, less Utah, more free Boobies.

    Go to Orangeville, Utah. It's got to be the most backwater place I've ever been to.

    this is a god awful shitty state

    After driving through desert for 9 hours, passing through Los Vegas was like going from silence, to having 20 people scream at you for 20 minutes.

    then more desert.
