Ted Bundy's Apartment (Former)
Xeba73 (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Xeba73.
In September 1974, Ted Bundy moved into room #2 at 565 1st Ave N. in Salt Lake City. He had been accepted to the University of Utah Law School and was pursuing a career as a lawyer. He had previously abducted and murdered at least 8 women in Washington and Oregon, though some investigators think there were more victims.
Almost immediately after moving into the boarding house, he began murdering women and teenage girls in the Salt Lake City area. The confirmed victims of Bundy up to this point had been college-aged women, but while living here he shifted his focus to include high-school and middle-school aged girls. In total during his stay at this house, he murdered at least 10 girls and women ranging in age from 12 to 26. He later admitted to bathing the bodies of some of his victims and applying makeup to them post-mortem. Bundy would also photograph the bodies of his victims, and he hid these photographs in the utility room of the boarding house.
On November 8, 1974, Bundy attempted to abduct Carol DaRonch from a mall. He impersonated a police officer and told her someone was trying to steal her car and she needed to come out to the mall parking lot with him. After attempting to handcuff her, she escaped and got to safety, making a police report with a full description of Bundy and his vehicle.
In August of 1975, Bundy was pulled over and arrested for cruising around a neighborhood in early morning hours then fleeing at high speeds after spotting the police officer. When the police officer searched his vehicle, he found many suspicious items including a ski mask, handcuffs, trashbags, and rope. After his arrest, a detective recognized his car from the DaRonch report and his name from a list of suspects for the Washington and Oregon murders.
In October, police asked Carol DaRonch to identify his abductor in a lineup, and she successfully identified Ted Bundy. He was formally charged with attempted kidnapping in the DaRonch case and murder in the case of Caryn Campbell, whom he abducted from the Wildwood Inn in January 1975. Ted Bundy was let out on bail paid by his parents. He then left Utah and lived with his Seattle area girlfriend, Elizabeth Kloepfer, until the trial in Utah began.

Ti'tsa-pa / Great Salt Lake
Mike1989 (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Mike1989.
The Great Salt Lake, located in the northern part of the U.S. state of Utah, is the largest salt water lake in the western hemisphere, and the fourth-largest terminal lake in the world. In an average year the lake covers an area of around 1,700 square miles (4,400 km2), but the lake's size fluctuates substantially due to its shallowness. For instance, in 1963 it reached its lowest recorded level at 950 square miles (2,460 km²), but in 1988 the surface area was at the historic high of 3,300 square miles (8,500 km2). In terms of surface area, it is the largest lake in the United States that is not a Great Lake.

Pa’ri-bi-na / Antelope Island State Park
dwfarmer (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: dwfarmer.
Antelope Island is the Great Salt Lake's largest island. In 1893 American Bison were introduced to the island and today they number over 600. Every October there is an annual roundup which is open for the public to see; the buffalo are corraled for innoculations and health checkups. Also roaming the island are antelope and bighorn sheep and plenty of varieties of birds. There are beaches for sunbathing, trails for biking, jogging, hiking, and cross country skiing, a visitor center and picnic and camping facilities. A causeway to the island opened in 1969 which was frequently washed out by waves. In 1985 the causeway was completely submerged due to the lake's rising water level but in the late 80's the water resided some and the causeway was able to reopen in 1993.

Moochie's Meatballs and Circle Pottery Gift Shop
Parabellum (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Parabellum.
Joanna Rendi has wanted to offer the food she loved in Philadelphia since she moved to Salt Lake City. And when husband Don MacDonald bought a new building to house his pottery school, she created a niche in the rear of the Circle Pottery Gift Shop to try her hand at making a business out of cheesesteak sandwiches and homemade Italian pasta, meatballs, marinara sauce and salads. Once you start dropping in it’s hard to stay away. We’ve said it before: These cheesesteak sandwiches are as close to the real deal as you’ll find this side of the Rockies. And if you are a virgin to this particular culinary delight, you’ll think you died and went to heaven. Really.

Aircraft Arresting Cable
jbottero (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: jbottero.
Like Navy aircraft, ground based Air Force fighters also have a tail hook for catching an emergency arresting cable (also called a barrier), in case they are unable to break normally.
The cable is not normally in the "up" position, in rubber blocks about 6 inches above ground where the tail hook can grab it. Unless there was a situation that required it, it would be in the "down" position, below ground where the aircraft could simply roll over it. The tower and the Fire Department have the ability to extend the cable into the "up" position when needed.
Generally you will find these only at Air Force base where fighter aircraft call home station. This is a BAK-9 or BAK13 barrier at Hill Air Force Base, in Utah.
