How many of us Aggie's recognize this scene?
You have to drive through it on any venture in or out of Cache Valley.
Mantua, UT pronounced "man-a way"
I have driven through Sardine canyon and
thus Mantua more times than I can count.
The very first thing my grandpa ever said to
me when he found out I was going to school in Logan was
"watch out for the cops in Mantua. They'll nab you every time."
And I have had more friends than I can count who
have received tickets in this metropolis.
However, as I was driving through last night on my
way to visit friends in Logan, I realized that
in all the days I have lived, worked,
studied, and played in the valley of Cache, I've
NEVER seen a police officer in Mantua.
Am I lucky?
or is it really not the world famous speed trap
it has been made out to be?
You must just drive it at the right times. I have seen him many-a-time.
ReplyDeleteI have heard the same thing. Never experienced it myself. I have seen the police pickup truck at the bottom of the hill a few times though.
ReplyDeleteAs Mantua is only 3 miles from my hometown, I know of what you speak: consider yourself LUCKY, lady! I've never been pulled over there, either, but I have friends who have, and I've seen a number of cars pulled onto the shoulder of the road, very likely receiving tickets. They call him RoboCop.
ReplyDeleteBecause, I mean, what else does a cop in Mantua have to do with his time?
I'm with you Annie - I've NEVER seen a cop there either. I've never been pulled over. But it REALLY is true. My brother got his first speeding ticket there EVER just a few days ago. :) So weird.
