The drive from Fort Collins, Colorado to Park City, Utah was a comfortable drive. The road itself was dry even though the country side was white with a heavy dusting of snow. We ended our day of driving in Park City, Utah. The surrounding mountains have numerous winter ski runs and even a ski jump where our Olympic Teams practice their jumps.
We spent the night with friends in their amazing home atop a mountain on the opposite side of Park City, providing awesome views of the ski runs. Their back yard was dotted with Deer and Elk tracks in the fresh snow. I had not seen JoAnne since the 11th Grade. It was nice to meet her husband and get to know them. They were most hospitable and treated us to an awesome dinner at the Clubhouse. We had a great visit trying to catch up on a few years. We spent the night in their guest room.
We drove away wondering how one could come close to repaying the kindness shown to us.
The early morning views across the valley were awesome!
We continued our drive across Utah and Idaho. We made a brief stop in Twin Falls to buy a pair of chains for the Sienna, as it began to snow more and more. As soon as we bought the chains the snowing stopped. We also made a pit stop in Boise at the last Cracker Barrel Restaurant towards parts West.
As we entered Oregon, the weather began to turn sour and the temperatures dropped into the low 20's and snow was falling. The roads were beginning to ice over and were covered with a blanket of white as we took the Baker City exit to refuel and take a room in the Best Western. Tomorrow we brave the snowy pass towards LaGrande and beyond. Looking forward to seeing "our people"!
God is Good!
