Why are Mitt Romney’s Houses Aligned?

Is there a tunnel connecting Mitt Romney’s houses to church and government properties in Park City and Salt Lake? Why do you think his houses were once almost perfectly aligned to the east and west, 20 miles from each other? Why does his residence have a secret room in the plans?

The mystery begins strangely, but with landmarks as a backbone to hang some of the fleshy clues as we proceed.

First, an imaginary east-west line that splits the Salt Lake valley in half begins at the tip of a mountain we will call, Snowtop in Park City and runs 43 miles straight west to a lone rock in Tooele on the Great Salt Lake shoreline known as Adobe Rock. Why? Who knows?

Naturally, the latitude passes through coincidental places but most notably, centerpieces, Hobbs Peak and Farnsworth Peak. The Spiro Drain Tunnel on the Wasatch back, is intersected with another lone shoreline rock, Pete’s Rock on the Wasatch front. The area is popular for climbers and a hiking trail for Mt. Olympus and Hobbs Peak begins at the designated parking lot.

What makes the path interesting, west from here, across the ancient, lake bed valley, is how it first parallels Walker Lane, to roughly 5300 south, eventually Kearns, through the Kennecott mine works and out the other side to Adobe Rock. Missed opportunities and a damned shame if there is…
