Has it really been more than a month since we last did a post?? Hard to believe – BUT, must be because we have been soooo busy!!
The theme of new experiences has continued – even into our dining experiences. One evening was spent in the delightful setting of Log Haven in Millcreek Canyon with friend Sally. (Picture does not do justice to the serene setting;-) )
Yummy dessert! (Dinner was good too.)
Then there was the new venue in Kamas – The State Road Restaurant at the DeJoria Center, where there is free music every Thursday night. All our ‘old’ RV’ing friends enjoyed the evening with us.
Relaxing and enjoying the music with old friends.
Just HAD to get in a little dancing.
Of course there were concerts. Even though the venue was the same (SnowPark at DV), the acts were all new to us – Patti Austin ‘doing’ Ella at 100, Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton), a Classical Mystery Tour and Diana Krall – –
Diana Krall performing at the Deer Valley Amphitheater.
Thanks to friend Sally, John Mayall at the Egyptian was also on the calendar. AND – he was awesome!! A couple of plays also crept into the agenda – ‘Cabaret’ at the Egyptian and ‘Book of Mormon’ at the brand new Eccles Theater in Salt Lake. What a riot to watch this here in “Salt Lake a City”!!
Although there was not as much hiking in the last month – what was done was new. A trek to Shadow Lake on the Park City Mountain – organized by the Budd’s – proved to be a beautiful hike with outstanding wild flowers and a charming little lake – –
Beautiful wildflowers.
What a crew!
We even took in a Bees (LA Angels farm team) baseball game when they played the Dodgers farm team – including a great burger dinner before at Lucky 13;-) And spent an evening at a good old standard – The Park City Art Festival. In between all of this – there was a VERY quick trip back to Scottsdale. Just outside of Kanab this sign appeared – –
Interesting play on words. To bad we didn’t have time to stop and enjoy the – – pie.
And, of course, there were 14 rounds of golf!! In order to get in a new course – a trip to Evanston was in order to play Purple Sage with Rheta and Tom.
Hole #2 at Park City Muni. Gary left a number of balls in the water on this hole this year.
This did seem to be the summer of the moose. Probably saw more in the last couple of weeks than we have ever seen before. It is so much fun to see these animals – somewhat close. They are really HUGE and yet majestic – –
This youngster came out of the water and joined us on the 18th green at the Muni course.
Spotted these four bulls on the road from Empire Pass to Midway, UT.
The camera shy cow was not far away as her two calves enjoyed breakfast at the Mountain Dell Golf Course.
Our last round of golf at Park City Muni this year – this HUGE bull moose and the cow came to say ‘bye’.
And suddenly the summer is over for us here in Park City. Day after tomorrow we pull up stakes and head north to Sun Valley, ID for the total eclipse of the sun;-)
See you after the ‘end of the world’ next Monday;-) E & G
