This office building, which I stumbled upon purely by chance, connects me to a former PBase member whose photo activity I followed for a while.
I knew from PBase communications with D.T. that he lived near Seattle, worked for a company that produced software for credit card transactions, and travelled on occasion to the company's Utah office. The Utah office was somewhere south of Salt Lake City, but I didn't know where.
In March 2007 I was driving south on I-15 on my way to Moab and pulled off the interstate about 30 miles (48 km) south of Salt Lake City to check my map. At the top of the exit ramp I saw a non-descript office building straight ahead, the one seen here. A name on the building looked familiar and I quickly realized that this was the building to which D.T. travelled in his work. Small world!
D.T. has since gone to work for another company and quit his PBase account. And since I took the picture, the interchange has been re-built, making my original geotagging seem inaccurate.
The area south of Salt Lake City is a long north-south urban area whose cities abut one another and whose boundaries are a mystery to an outsider. I had to carefully study maps to determine that this interchange was in American Fork.
