While I loved every minute of the FE Warren AFB, it was time to move on. We left ~noonish for our trip across Wyoming and into Utah. It was approximately 400 miles and 5-6 hours to Park City. The drive was beautiful but the weather was intense. We had fog, black skies, white puffy clouds, some blue skies, rain, and some bright sunshine. The temperature ranged from 44-78. While it certainly started off a little rough, (ie the fog was so bad we could barely see anything) it was an amazing drive. Jen took pictures that you could see.
While the weather was fascinating, the mountains were breathtaking. Peter thought the little shrubs looked like broccoli and of course that made everyone hungry. So we stopped ~2.5 hours in at Penny's Diner. We all had great meals and got back in the car for the last 3 hours. Along the way we noticed all the animals there were cows, deers, sheep, horses, etc and these very weird structures that some believed to be fences, some thought were solar panels. This debate continues. In addition, we saw numerous trains that were very long and double stacked.
We played the license plate game and in all we saw 36 different license plates. We had to take one more break before Park City. (We are becoming very fond of the big truck stops.) At the stop, we all watched as the deer climbed down a very steep mountain. See the pics.
We all got back in for the 1 hour trip to Park City. Fortunately, it was an easy drive to Park City. A. Honey was concerned that with only 5 miles to go there was no sign of civilization but that is just the way it goes out here. Bop got us to our hotel successfully and we were all very relieved to get out of the car for 3 days!!!
