Sept 17 – 20, 2011 Park City, Utah is a “Resort” ski area and town. Park City was originally a silver mining town. I was able to find Megan (her birthday is Sept 22) a silver Indian necklace with a silver feather and aqua beads. It matched the shirt I bought her in Jackson Hole perfect, Cowboy and Indian. The town was neat, but very upscale.
Our next stop was camping in front of Gail and Nancy’s (Ski friends of David’s) house in Salt Lake City. they have two awesome dogs, Callie and Sophie. I went to the dog park everyday with Nancy, Had my first fly fishing lesson with Gail.
They lent us one of their cars and David and I spent the day at one of David’s favorite places in the whole world, Snowbird. We took the (ski) chair lift up and down the mountain. Then the tram to the top, 11,000 ft elevation. Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! It was very nostalgic for David. We walked down the mountain, following many of the trails he had skied for years. It took us over 2 1/2 hours. Rough on the knees and legs, but we loved every minute. We had a scrumptious dinner at the infamous Steak Pit. For avid meat eaters, it’s the creme da la creme to order a “baseball” at the Steak Pit.
We had a glinch with the heater in the RV and made an appointment to have it fixed while we were at Gail and Nancy’s. We were lucky the repairman came to their house. It was a minor repair. Even luckier the repairman told us there had been a recall on our 20 year old fridge, a fire hazard. The repairman fixed it on the spot with no cost to us. That was very, very lucky.
We all went to the neatest restaurant , The Black Bear Diner. They had fresh from the oven biscuits as big as Zach”s foot and bear claws for dessert! It was a wonderful fun filled three days. Next Stop California.
