Challenges and more Challenges
Utah may not be the startplace of challenges. I am not sure if there was a startplace. However there sure are a lot here. I thought I would list some of the different ones. In particular the ones that may get listed today. If they are questionable, I left them off the list. Hopefully they will give you some ideas. There are about 300 in Utah right now. Though not all unique, there is a lot of variation and a lot of ideas. They are just a sampling. So enjoy.
