Have had three- and five-hour layovers (by design several times) where I rented a $19.95 special from one of the rental car places >> Salt Lake IS a great place to do this. On my first trip to Essex several years ago, I mentioned to Busse that there could be a 9 hour layover designed into my plane change at Salt Lake. He had a freebie rent car coupon that was fixin to expire. A couple of days later I had a freebie rent car coupon in my mailbox. Got off the plane and got the rent truck (a midweek upgrade to a new Blazer was 10 bucks!) Headed southeast at a very high rate of speed, and got to Lynn, UT just as the Utah RR train to Provo was getting on the main (which was the point of this whole exercise). Had a great chase over Soldier Summit (where he met the empty train) and on into Provo. Shot 7 rolls of film and every shot was acceptable and a couple were pretty damn good. Made it back to the airport with about 25 minutes to spare--just enough to meet up with the rest of the group and grab a beer and a slice of pizza. A great start to what turned out to be a great trip!
