Thanks, Ed. I'm looking on Google Earth and not sure I'm finding it. Is it the exit by the Morton Salt plant? or...?

Richard,

The best, clearest, and nearest unobstructed view of the western horizon is from the top of the low hill on the north side of the freeway at exit 62 on I-80 (about 60 miles west of SLC).
