🦾 Utah Locals Are Getting Cheap 10 Gbps Fiber Thanks To Local Governments
"Tired of being underserved and overbilled by shitty regional broadband monopolies, back in 2002 a coalition of local Utah governments formed UTOPIA — (the Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency). The inter-local agency collaborative venture then set about building an “open access” fiber network that allows any ISP to then come and compete on the shared network."
Everyone wants to go where the view is, but the thing is, the view isn't in just one place.

Ranger Sarah with another amazing view of the Rainbow Mountains. The vivid hues are attributed to the encrustation of iron oxides, manganese, cobalt, and others. These minerals have leached into the rock layers over time, staining them with shades of red, purple, yellow, and blue.

@ambivalena You nailed it. I always loath any attempt to attribute meaning to pictographs and petroglyphs. They range up to 10,000 years old, however, these are probably around 1,200 years old. Too much has changed and there's just no way to understand what the person was thinking when they drew them
@elaterite in two times in my life I’ve had opportunities to view pictographs/petroglyphs. It’s one thing seeing them in a photograph. It’s downright surreal seeing them in person, right in front of you. What a gift that you were able to find these.
