Road trip continues...

Today we drove from Jackson, Wyoming, to Park City, Utah - another ski resort area where many of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games events were held. We started our road trip in Montana - Big Sky Country, and have now gone through Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah.  Montana might have been big sky country but everything here is just big - big sky, big mountains, BIG plates of food, big hats and big pickup trucks.  Some of the utes here have double wheels on each side of the back - I would hate to supply petrol for them!
The road trip is fun - driving is easy (thank goodness for USA hire car companies giving automatic cars - makes the other side of the road so much easier!). We're in very rural areas for the drive, so are instantly recognised as out-of-towers, but everyone is so friendly and helpful, right down to the 8 year old girl in a park today who wore t-shirt, shorts and a lovely pair of decorative cowboy boots complete with spurs!!!! (She has a big future I think!)

We've arrived in Park City - Mormon tabernacles everywhere thanks to the close proximity to Salt Lake City. I could never be a Mormon - forget the no alcohol - they aren't even allowed caffeine as it is considered mind-altering (surely they could do better than that!!)
Big pick-up truck!!
