Park City is a mecca of activities – no matter the season.  Besides the ‘normal’ daily activities of hiking, biking, golfing, skiing, x-country skiing, snowshoeing, etc., etc., etc. – during the three summer months there are free concerts almost every night of the week at various venues around town, symphony and PC Institute concerts two – three nights a week, girls’ Triple Crown softball tournament, boys’ baseball tournament, soccer tournaments, the Annual Art Festival (E volunteered again this year) and the Tour d’Utah, with many of the Tour d’France participants!!

 

This last activity is perhaps the most fun we have had on Main Street since the Olympics in 2002;-)  Of course it was helpful that we were invited to the Ligety/Leader office balcony just above the start/finish line to watch the race and awards ceremony.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once all the excitement of the race died down, we were back to our normal routine of golf on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday – hiking on Wednesday and Friday – and TV golf on the week-end.  E did spend one week-end playing in the Tuhaye women’s golf tournament as the guest of Dyan —

 

We also played nine-and-dines with several friends, which gave us the opportunity to play late in the day when the wildlife might be out to ‘play’ – like this threesome of sandhill cranes–

 

 

AND – even though it is only mid-August, the hills are beginning to turn and remind us that summer in Park City does NOT last forever;-(

 

 

In just two short weeks it will be time for us to pack up Magic and head west again.  Oregon will be calling us and we are hoping (for lots of reasons) that all those awful fires in Idaho and Oregon will be OUT!

 

Can’t believe the summer is almost gone – E&G
