What was remarkable this year though were the crowds; we thought they were huge and stood as a testimony that more people than ever went for a “staycation” instead of a trip during the long weekend. We saw a few people we know and watched the whole procession next to Cheryl and Mark, our Park City second-home neighbors who live in Santa Cruz, California, the rest of the time. All in all this was a fun outing, filled with casual Park City style...

Fourth of July Parade
Today we walked to town for the fourth of July Parade, our nation 233rd birthday and our town's 125th! We often do that and this is a good reason to cover a full 5 mile without even realizing it. This year's event had its usual floats, but nothing exceptional or incredibly innovative. I personally liked the Stein Eriksen Lodge's pair of mine carts with rugged miners and scantily clad belles as passengers, that showed a tad of originality.
