Salt Lake City / Tooele Utah Fun

Sundial Peak and Blanche Lake

Blanche, Florence, and Lillian

Valerie and I spent Labor Day weekend in Salt Lake City.  It was nice to be back.  The drive was easy and we had no problems.  We arrived in Tooele where Dani and Bart live since they got married the end of Aug. We spent the first day checking out the Farmer's Market downtown, shopping and checking out some of our favorite places.  We met Robbyn and Steve at The Cotton Bottom Bar for a garlic burger.  On Sunday Val and I went on a hike up to the 3 Sisters Lakes in Big Cottonwood Canyon.  It seemed much harder than it did 20 yr. ago.  It's about 3 miles up to Blanche Lake, Florence Lake, and Lake Lillian.  It's pretty much uphill the whole way and was pretty crowded.  We did see a moose just off the trail about 30 ft.  Dani and Bart had a cookout that evening and we had some Dutch oven cooking which was wonderful.  On Monday we were going to try another hike but it was more crowded up the canyon.  We did have a wonderful breakfast at the Silver Fork Lodge which was one of our favorites when we lived there.  Dani and Bart's reception was Monday evening.  It was beautiful, the food was great, and it was nice seeing all of our old neighbors.  It was at Louland Falls which I didn't even know existed the whole time we lived there.  We drove back early on Tuesday morning.
