Return home

The last stage in our trip was also the most scenic as the landscape quickly morphed from Prairie to the typical Rocky Mountain scenery we’re used to. The weather stayed beautiful with the exceptions of a few strong but brief rain-showers that providentially cleaned up our car windshield.

The traffic was light, composed for 95% of large semi trucks, literally “owning” that portion of the road and the skies appeared to us as super big, with huge cumulus clouds hanging low on that interminable 7,000 feet plateau. 

We loved the fact that we didn’t encounter any major problem on the road, traveled at a very high rate of speed except for quite a few construction zones peppered along the way. 

The car held up well in spite of its 23 years of age and 125,000 miles under the hood and so did its human cargo, as I did my best to stay focused on the goal to safely reach home, adding 2,207 to the car mileage. 

Mid afternoon we were back in Park City and soon, we parked the car smoothly inside our garage where it’s likely to rest for many, many weeks!
