Utah’s One Thing: Victor of Bumblebee’s KBBQ

Standard

At the end of every New Utah interview we like to ask our guests, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?

When we had Victor of BumbleBee’s KBBQ for epsiode 49, he made us all laugh by starting his one thing in Utah off by saying how little of a night life there is in Utah. Victor did say the given, Temple Square. But then there was a little light that went off. Victor said the one thing you must do before leaving a visit to Utah is to head to Strawberry Reservoir or Mirror Lake and fish!

Utah’s One Thing: David J. West

Standard

At the end of every New Utah interview we like to ask our guests, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Utah Author David J West of episode 34 suggested that the one thing someone should do before leaving Utah is just to drive to the middle of nowhere. We definitely have a lot of  “nowhere” here in Utah.  Another great spot that David suggested is the San Rafael Swell located in the south east part Utah.

Great news guys… Episode 41 is comin at you like all roads that lead to Uncle Rico! (that’s about as glorious as it gets, if you didn’t know)

The New Utah was joined this week by another previous guest from Episode 22 at the Halloween Expo. Tracey Rolfe came back to Utah for her new book release, which is not even released in the UK yet, and for Wizarding Dayz . We recapped the last few months with her and we even got the scoop on her new book, “The White Witch of Spiton and the Curse of Pendle Hill.” It will be hitting Amazon on March 19th but in the mean time check out her other books in this series HERE. We will link on our Facebook at that time. We look forward to skyping Tracey in with us when the final book of the White Witch of Spiton series is released.
