Fall is coming to the mountains. It is time for us to go south! We are near Park City ski resort in Utah at a state park called Jordanelle and the days are sort of cold. I think yesterday it was maybe 67. That is not terribly cold but it does remind us of what is coming so today we will head a little bit souther.We have enjoyed our quiet stay here. Most of the campsites are empty and it is very quiet. The area is lovely and we got to explore Park City. I still can't believe what we did!
In order to entertain the summer people, make some money and provide a few jobs, Park City has installed some fun rides - and we did one! We chose the Alpine Slide because I could control the speed. I am a scardy cat for sure!
This picture was taken from the chair lift - which turned out to be the worst part of the whole thing. I have a fear of heights and it seems to be getting worse as I get older. If we are driving along a cliff on my side of the truck, I can't look down and sometimes I have to just close my eyes. Ridiculous but it is the way it is. So taking the chair lift was a huge challenge for myself. I made it alive. I did not fall out - but I did have sweaty palms and white knuckles!
When we got up there we realized that we were expected to claim a glider and drag it to the starting gate.
And this is what a normal person looks like at the starting gate - excited! (Excuse me - but Kirby is NOT normal!)
I am glad there is no picture of me - you would then have to see what terror looks like! Well, Kirby went full bore the whole way and I drug on my brake so that the people who followed me in the track next to us (there are 4 tracks) were down and gone by the time I reached the finish line. Oh, well, I had fun my way!
I took this picture from the car later as we were driving around. You can see the four tracks coming down the hill. And, yes, I would do it again! If I could just find another way to get to the top!
These are some photos from Jordanelle State Park. Jake and I took a long walk one morning and enjoyed the quiet and the beauty. We were even treated to a rainbow!
This is a picture of our 5th wheel at our campsite.
