My latest novel involves a young wife leaving a polygamous marriage.

1. I know many polygamists families put their children in public schools, and that many do not have birth certificates. Do schools in Utah not require birth certificates?

1. What do you call the snowsuit-type-thingy you zip a baby into in cold climates? I've been in the maritimes too long!
2. Are there mountains west of Salt Lake City? The Wasatch Range is east, correct? But when you're watching the sunset, what does it set behind, if anything?
3. Exactly what month was the movie Babel released in Utah?
4. How early did Utah movie theaters start promoting The Nativity Story?

1. If you're driving in from Duncan, AZ, what's the first thing you see? Is it a sprinkling of outlying homes, getting thicker and thicker until you go through a residential area? That's what it looks like on Yahoo Maps.


2. Next, if you go east from Main Street on East "A" Street and follow the curve around the power plant, you end up on a road that runs mostly NE. It intersects twice with Goil Hill Road (it might be Goll Hill or even Golf Hill; my map is hard to read) and eventually goes up into the mountains. What is the name of that road? Is it dirt or chipseal or pavement?


3. Eventually (but before you reach the mountains), the road intersects with another road that runs NW/SE (and eventually intersects with Highway 90 and keeps going). What is the name of that road?


4. Staying on the unnamed road you started from, just past the intersection, there is an industrial plant of some kind, maybe a wastewater treatment plant? Anybody know for sure?
