Today we woke up, and didn't realize that the check-out time at our current hotel was 10am, which is really early! We were thinking it would be either 11am or 12pm, but we were wrong. So we quickly packed, and were out the door by 10:45. Luckily, we weren't charged extra for our late check-out.
We decided to take a stroll around downtown Park City. It was so hot outside! We were hungry, so we stopped at a brewery/restaurant. We didn't have much time, since we still had an 8 hour drive to Denver, Colorado. After lunch, we stopped in a few galleries (Park City has a lot of great ones) and boutiques, then headed out.
The drive was pretty uneventful. We drove up through Wyoming, then down into Colorado. About the most interesting thing we saw were these strange wooden fences that weren't connected, just sitting out in the middle of hills. We could NOT figure out what they were for. After googling it, and talking to Dan, we figured out these fences are meant to keep the snow from building up on the roads. The area is so windy, that without these fences, the snow would blow over the roadway. The fences create snow drifts; hard to explain, but makes sense once you see them.
We got to Denver at around 9pm. We made plans to stay with Molly, Mike's cousin, and her husband, Dan. Unfortunately, Molly had to leave town on business. Fortunately, Dan was home so he met us at the door (with his awesome dog, Jelly Bean), poured us a drink, made popcorn, and we spent the rest of the evening chatting and telling good stories. We were really tired from the long drive, so we went to bed in the hopes of getting an early start.
No pictures this time, but we will try to upload them when we get a chance.
