After all of our on the road adventures, we finally made it to Salt Lake City. It’s funny. I feel like Salt Lake City has become our little home away from home ever since we had started to come here for the Outdoor Retailer trade show twice a year about three years ago. We look forward to coming here for both the winter and the summer shows to play in the amazing snow in the mountains, climb on fantastic rock, see all of our SLC friends and eat at our favorite restaurants!
Our OR trips usually start off with meeting up with our good friend, Bentley, who works JTree’s sales and marketing. 
After picking up B from the airport and making a few important stops (dumping holding tanks…love that smell….and hitting up the liquor store for some booth essentials…whiskey and sweet tea vodka) we headed directly to the Salt Palace for booth set up. Sign-in and badge pick up: check. Unloading the RV: check. Finding our booth #32076: what the…. Long story short, what we failed to learn until we walked out on to the showroom floor was that our booth space was directly in front of the main door that leads to the loading dock. So unless we wanted to have our booth run down by forklifts moving crates and boxes into the showroom, we were not going to be able to set up until that door was permanently shut. Now the question was: when exactly would that be? Apparently that was going to be at 8pm the night before the show. Lucky for us we pack light and move efficiently! At 9:30pm our booth was finally set up. Now it was off to get some sleep!
