A perfect Sunday! Woke up at 7, ate another round of fantastic pastries from the hotel bakery and wandered around the hotel a bit. Then, into Bob and Gail’s car and off for the “Tour El Grande” of this area. First place to see was Heber City, then off to Park City. Just amazing that Salt Lake City is just 50 miles away from this remote and unpopulated mountain area. We visited an Indian jewelry store, t shirt stores and of course, a chocolate shop. Then lunch and home.
Back at the hotel room, we found that for the third day in a row (of three total days at this hotel), the room air conditioner was broken. Maintenance came again, after testing the system, the guy declared vent air was at 98 degrees. Sigh. New parts and it is all fixed now.
Rest of the day includes packing the bike saddlebags for early am departure tomorrow, a nap followed by dinner out with Bob and Gail as well as Ginny and Nick Hoppner.
Exceptional marmot photo that Gail took today:

Photo below was on the way home from Park city, basically the view of Heber Valley.
Just caught up on the blog. Would have done so earlier but we were spending time with you two.
ReplyDeleteLoved those goats and the Marmots. I don’t think we’ve ever seen them before.
Great visiting with old friends at the rally. Beautiful facility, it really looks like Switzerland.
Enjoyed our excursions, especially to Park City. Loved cruising those shops while Stu and Bob swapped stories and relaxed at the coffee shop.
Of course I truly appreciated you finding my new ring at the Southwest jewelry store. How convenient that it was that it was too big for you allowing me to snap it up.
Thanks for capturing the fun in your blog!
