During my trip to the N. America two weeks ago, Itzik Shai, Joe Uziel and I were invited by Prof. Jeff Chadwick to Brigham Young University to give a seminar to the university students and community.
Jeff (and his wife Kim and the rest of his family, as well as all the BYU community) were most gracious and welcoming hosts.
The lecture I gave was reported here and here.
On the first day I arrived, after Joe and Itzik’s lectures, Jeff took us on a wirlwind drive around some of the nature sites that are along the main highways around Salt Lake City. Among others, we stopped to look at the amazing “Devil’s Fins” – a fascinating geological phenomenon to the east of Salt Lake.
See here a picture of Jeff, Itzik and Joe (taken by yours truly – sorry for the poor quality – it was taken with my mobile phone …) in front of the “fins”.

Well, Aren, sorry to have missed you. I’m a student at a community college here in Salt Lake City and I’m writing a final on Tell es-Safi for my archaeology class there, its due in just a few days.
I’m not sure if anyone has already done this, but I added an overlay of the 2004 survey map on to Google Earth. Hope the link works:

It’s particularly helpful to use Google Earth’s tilt ability to see a perspective of the terrain … not as functional on the Google Maps version.
