There are many lions in Salt Lake City, I assume because Brigham Young was called the "Lion of the Lord." In fact, the city's professional Ultimate frisbee team is the Lions

We were impressed with this tombstone, which was actually a piece of petrified wood!

You know, I've always been partial to historic New England graveyards, but these are so fascinating! I love the life details. "Helpmate" is awesome.
