I joined my father for a brief week in Nevada on my long journey home from South East Asia. I flew into Salt Lake City on 26th August. He and Ed drive back from Ely in Nevada to pick me up, and we spent a morning exploring Temple Square - the home of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints commonly known as the Mormons.
