We made it to Park City, Utah this morning with only about 3 hours of driving. We had heard a lot about this place so it was a scheduled stop on our so-called ‘plan’. First we checked in at the Park City RV Resort which is right on I-80 and Utah 224 which connects Park City to I-80 so we were close. We elected to take a camp site that is right next to a really nice clean stream. First thing we saw was another GMC. This is a ’79 23-foot Birchaven. A couple is living in it full time along with the biggest, furriest dog I have ever seen and there is a third person that spends the night there. Very nice people and the guy is a mechanic who has done a lot of work on old Tornado drive trains so he knows GMCs pretty well.

We drove to the ski areas and found what we were looking for at the Park City Resort – in the winter a ski area but in the summer they have zip lines, and other downhill attractions. Our objective was the ‘Alpine Coaster’ which is basically a sled that hold one or two people and rides on a track that is very much like a roller coaster. The ride is long – more than a mile – and fast – as fast as I want to go. We took separate sleds and Carol didn’t even touch the brake on the way down – I used it a little. I could tell when I popped out of the woods that she had gone a lot faster than I did because I couldn’t see her in front of me. She’s a devil that one. It turns out that the ride averages about 30 MPH so I am a big chicken. Next time… no brakes.
