Hi Nisurastar, It's cool to see someone local here on the board as always.
I wish the area was up in your neck of the woods, I'm sure your hiking and adventuring could have payed off here a little. By the way I love
Northeastern Utah, I have a house up in Northeastern Utah I enjoy getting away to. Anyway, unfortuneately this area is west of SLC, and Magna. It is
of closest proximity to Kennecott copper. It would have been cool if you knew what it was. If you are familiar with flash earth, check this link and
it will show you exactly where it is:

As far as your comment negating the fact that there is a 'special' branch of the un-named religious organization's security establishment (just to
remain politically correct). I must offer you some proof I have found myself to be true. If you don't believe there are security forces in place in
downtown Salt Lake City with 'fully' automatic weapons permits. I have a test for you. If you are familiar with what is widely accepted as the
'Church Office Complex' just to the northeast of the Temple grounds. This area and main building is the epicenter and foundation for most all of
'Church business'. This building is the foremost public display of 'Church' financial business practices. Investing, stock-spreadsheets, and even
tithing go through this buildings CPA's in one form or another.
As far as the test. Aside from business, this building has an immense underground 'secured' parking facility. I emplore you to try and run
'physically', not in your car (for safety reasons) down the gradient leading to just the first parking level of many, (past the first guard post)and
see the reception you get from the security on hand. I have witnessed this myself and seen the outcome. Not to mention the questioning one gets for
simply being a witness to an 'incident.' It isn't pretty. Although the weapons are amazing! My point is, there is some serious firepower required
it seems to make sure everybody's vehicles are 'safe'. And, although this may seem odd to an outsider, this is amazingly the case.
Their has long been legend, tales, or call it rumor, with which I personally have a bit of a hard time believing. However, everytime I bring up
'underground' anything it comes at me like a barrage of information from members, ex-members, and just plain folk here locally. That rumor is that
there are a wide array of underground activities taking place here in this valley. Again I personally have a hard time believing it all, and it is a
bit of a stretch. However it is common conversation when someone brings up the term undergroun here in SLC and with good reason. There is a long,
long, history of underground activity 'documented ' however unformally through the decades. Take for example the fact that this entertainment based
'secret service' issue of the united states offered an artist's rendition/depiction of the a 'fictional' incident known as the Brady's incident.
Forgive me for the following link which is a bit on the dramatic side, however was the tone of it's time, and goes to show how long these "rumors"
have been around:

As far as the reality of contracted "elite" security force on the premises of SLC downtown and other significant areas nearby that have undergound
potential at least from an 'entrance' standpoint, note the caverns at little cottonwood canyon. I highly recommend you read into the security force
up there. There is a wild "reality" taking place here nearby us. Again I have no problem with any of this and find it ok. People should not be
trespassing into an area they don't belong. I truly believe in obeying all laws. They are there for a reason. However, when the enforcement of
security seems to be over-kill for the given situation, the masses tend to wonder. Again, I feel the type of security in Little Cottonwood canyon
makes sense, since there is 'claimed' gold and money as well as important 'church' documents. However when the same type of security is upheld for
a 'parking' garage, I believe tthe reality of the situation has been distorted.
Below is a picture of the big cottonwood canyon caverns:
I am making no claims as to why there is such a strong presence of security only in areas that appear to be entrances. I don't think that is the
point here. The point is, I do know that there is heavy security in certain areas. In reality this means absolutley nothing. "Thinking" that one
knows the reason why the security is heavy is just assumption. I rather deal with the fact of what lies in the area of interest. But I am glad you
brought up that point Nisurastar, because I too didn't used to believe that there was even a need for security in such affiliated facilities. In the
case of the D&D gamers; I think they may have just chosen the wrong area to explore, and were greated the way anyone who worked as security officer
would have greated someone trespassing in an underground manner. Nothing against the un-named religious organization's security establishment. As
for the rumors, and such, I probably know as much as you do.
But, in the wise words of another, often where there is smoke, there is fire.
As far as the target area I have no idea.
