I determined the drive from Camp N Town in Carson City NV to Park City RV Resort in Park City UT was almost 600 miles and would take over 8 hours, so I decided to break up the trip with a stop in Winnemucca NV. In addition to splitting the trip, the stop gave me an opportunity to visit the Buckaroo Hall of Fame & Heritage MuseumAND would allow me to traverse Salt Lake City UT between rush hours instead of during or after the evening rush. A check on Google Earth showed there was plenty of parking near the downtown Winnemucca facility so I headed there with the Bighorn in tow; however, the doors were secured with posted instructions for the attendees of some development seminar hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. Apparently, the Chamber ... read more

At the moment in Utah, the Sundance festival is taking place – an annual film festival that takes place in Park City, Utah, celebrating cinema from around the world. It is a showcase for new work from American and International independent filmmakers. There are awards for some sections (American drama, International drama, documentaries, feature films and short films). It began in 1978 and originally featured only American-made films, with a focus on independent films, and regional films. I spent the afternoon listening to the live stream of a panel called 'Post-Truth and Consequences part 2'. A group of journalists discussing questioning society and challenging political orthodxies, discussing what 'post-truth' is, fake news, hate speech, trolling, and open hostility to free press and free speech. I will also be listening to 'Cinema Cafe' live stream which is ... read more

August 20, 2013 - Tuesday Another beautiful morning in Utah. In the 50’s when we got up. Got ready and left for Park City for the day. A fun time with all the sights and then a little bit of time at the Tanger Outlet Mall. After a fun morning we headed to Ruby Tuesday’s for lunch. Well, we rolled on out of there after stuffing ourselves! Back to the park and a little coffee and latte and then a nice walk around the park. A relaxing day for us today, much needed.

Travels with Just one Snowbird, Park City UT, April 13, 2013 What a day. I hope I remember it all!! Kristine left for Coachella (massive multi stage concert) in Palm Springs on Thursday. Lou and I have been fending for ourselves. He decided, if we could find someplace for Maggie to spend the day, Saturday, he would take me to Wendover UT/West Wendover NV, to check out the casinos. You know there was no way I was not going to find a wonderful place for Maggie to spend the day, and between us, we did. Neighbor and good friend, Susel, mother of twins, volunteered when she heard our plans. Susel and family including Maggie had many events to choose from, the last day of skiing before the mountain closes, swimming, gymnastics, bowling…..Maggie left at 9:30 am ... read more
