Travels with Snowbirds Tuesday July 30, 2013 Park City UT to Deer Run RV Park Saratoga WY I know, I know, I never wrote the Arches Blog. I have some amazing pictures from that day. I will get to it, as I will get to the wedding and some pictures, just not today. The wedding was a wonderful event that started on Thursday and ended on Monday. I was too tired to leave on Monday, so I cleaned Moya, did wash, grocery shopped, and took off early Tuesday morning. Welcome Karen & Darryl. Hope you enjoy the blog. I spent the last few days in the RV in Lou and Kristine’s driveway, just because there were so many people at the house, it was easier for me to give up my cushy King sized bed and ... read more

8.30 Abfahrt. Erstaunlicherweise waren die ersten 250 km ganz flach und alles war unter 200 m NN - man hat ja schon vom Flugzeug aus gesehen, dass die Fluesse wilde Maeander bildeten... Nadelbaeume und Birken, zuerst noch schoene, hohe Baeume, spaeter wurden sie dann kleiner, weil ich mehr in die Hoehe kam. Und dann gab es den ersten Blick auf den Mt Mc Kinley (= Dinali, das bedeutet in der Eingeborenensprach: der Hohe). Er ist fast 6000 m hoch und wirkt deshalb so gigantisch, weil seine absolute Hoehe (6000 m) fast seiner relativen Hoehe entspricht - der Bergfuss ist bei ungefaehr 450 m NN. N von Anchorage waren zuerst noch mehrere Orte, solange wir halt noch im Pendlereinzuggsgebiet von Anchorage waren. Aber dann wurde es schon recht einsam. An Strassen gibt es nicht viel - diesen ... read more

Today was a travel day. Back to civilization, wifi and overcrowded cities. Hard to believe the contrast one hour's drive can make out here. We went from wide open expanses with nary a soul in sight to 4-lane highways brimming with people, buildings, cars, trucks, signs...stuff crammed everywhere. Makes you think (and also grateful for cellular towers). Spent most of the day driving from Jackson to Salt Lake City. When we arrived, Todd had planned a special treat for the kids - an Alpine slide in Park City that he used to take his Trails West kids to each summer. They've expanded a bit, adding zip lines, a coaster and other small attractions. It took some coaxing, but we were finally able to get Sean to agree to ride, so we all hopped on the chairlift ... read more
