Recent reports indicate a bolt action rifle was found wrapped in a towel in the woods, one empty casing in the chamber, three more live rounds in the mag.
Yup. I live relatively close to this area, and there are plenty of trees. Why? Because it’s a university in a relatively densely populated part of the city (i.e. apartments for students).
I imagine “woods” is a bit generous here though, it’s more likely a copse of trees. There aren’t any real forests in the valley, but there are areas with a bunch of trees that someone in the desert would refer to as a forest. The real forests are in the canyons and on the east side of the mountains (i.e. Uintah Nat’l Forest, Cache Nat’l Forest, etc).
Utah being a “desert” is a bit of a misnomer. It’s not like the Arabian Peninsula or the Senora Desert, it just doesn’t get a ton of rain, and we get most of our water in the winter. But there are still underground water systems and of course municipal irrigation.
A lot of the famous national parks are mostly rock (Zion, Arches, etc), but we also have a few national forests and the ski areas are all pretty wooded.
UVU campus is built into a hill, and many of the hills have a fair amount of trees, especially near the lake where the water table is higher (and UVU is only a mile or so away).

Huh, I haven’t been to Utah since I was a kid and just remember rock. Lots of rock.

I grew up in Colorado, I should probably know Utah better than I do.
Sounds like Kash Patel watched JFK last night. Was the pristine bullet from a Mannlicher-Carcano?
