Utah Beach

Contrary to the bombardment of Omaha Beach, the early aerial attacks wiped out much of the German defenses that the land troops would have had to encounter. British warships proved themselves during this time. These ships were incredibly accurate, even from miles away (D-Day). Giant land clearing and mine clearing tank-like machines called “Funnies” cleared the way for land troops on the shore. British troops went to work. They seized control over a few exits within only an hour. Eventually, the British managed to gain hold over a fishing village by the name of Arromanches (D-Day). Within days of its seizure, Arromanches became a makeshift port for the Allies to unload supplies used in the battles. When one ship is sailing so smoothly, it is to be expected that another would be the polar opposite, as we see in the battle on Juno…

The beauty of the southwest knows no bound. The unique landscape is home to some of the most awe-inspiring mountains, cliffs, and valleys that I have seen in my life. My research and my adventures has a broad range that has a very subtle overlap. I will do the best to my ability to show you what I learned in my time in Utah and in the library. I decided to go to the Markgragunt gravity slide. Without knowledge of the exact whereabouts of the location and limited resources I saw this as an…

that she had loving parents who, no matter what would happen would always love her and take her back in with them. She knew that it would only take a few years and she could outlive them. She was even more thankful for everything she had back home that she had taken for granted. The thing she was the most grateful for was her family. When Elizabeth was finally free from her captors, she found even more things to be grateful for. She was thankful for the police officer who found her and…

It wasn’t till 1890 when the Manifest happened and the LDS church gave up on living polygamy in order to become a state on January 4, 1896. However polygamy did not stop there. Polygamy was continued by some that lived around the border of Utah and Arizona, these people were part of the FLDS church founded by John Y. Barlow and Joseph White Musser in 1932. The FLDS church was created for those who refused to stop practicing polygamy, John Y. Barlow was the first to lead the FLDS church, Soon…

The Grand Canyon Our surprise trip to Las Vegas came to an end. Everyone was very mournful. We were on our way back to Arizona. We had just crossed the state border, and then later we had seen signs that said we were close to the Grand Canyon. My parents decided that since we had never been to the Grand Canyon before, then we should go. Everyone was so enthusiastic again. Even when we were still driving to the entrance, I saw the beautiful view. I saw the red mountains, the rivers that…

Is Salt Lake City prepared for a Zombie Apocalypse? Probably not, no. Nobody could ever be completely prepared for an Apocalypse, let alone an entire city. Whether it be mentally or physically prepared. Not everybody is prepared for what we have to deal with now, let alone when they’re constantly being invaded by flesh eaters. What would definitely be needed is medical care, plenty of non infected food and drinks, safe shelters, weaponry, transportation, power, service, and good leadership. It…

In the book, Into the Wild, the main character Chris McCandless worked for a few industries along his journey. I will also be looking for jobs when I am hiking through California to Oregon. Unlike Chris McCandless, I have a few skills that I have learned through my years at being at Carbon Career Technical Institute. My skills include knowing the basics of Solidworks, AutoCAD, designing blueprints, and creating 3D objects. The local economies of California and Oregon are particularly similar…

Utah is a great place, and it has its own very unique history , it was the land where the pioneers planned to settle , away from persecution . This state was settled by the Mormon Pioneers ( members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) who were led across the country by the church leader at the time Brigham Young. Their trek started in the city of Nauvoo, Illinois in the year of 1846, and it ended in Salt Lake City, Utah in the year of 1847.There were many explorations of new…

geography The geography for Nevada is kinda simple, but at the same time kinda hard so you could say it is complex. I will just blurt it out. For my rivers and lakes I have the Colorado River, Humboldt River, the awesome Pyramid Lake, Lake Tahoe, and last but not least, well it probably is the least Walker lake. Its bordering states are Arizona, California, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah. Those states are important, so remember them because i might give you a pop quiz. Nevada’s major cities are…
