Kalispell to Salt lake City and beyond!

Saturday September 3rd, 2009 – Hound to Salt Lake!!


I have come to the conclusion that whenever anyone gets released from either a mental institution or a prison, the first thing they give them is a bus ticket to somewhere and for some reason they were all on the bus that I was on.


It was destined to be a long trip with a scheduled 16 hour bus ride between Kalispell Montana and Salt Lake City Utah – the “Salt Lake Express”!! Not too sure about the Express, but it actually was fairly pleasant…just way too long.


Sunday September 4th, 2009 – Arrival Salt Lake City


Arrived Salt Lake at 4:30 in the morning and was met by an old friend who worked with me way back in the late 80’s.


My plan was to stay one night in Salt Lake and had flights scheduled to leave on Monday the 5th at 2:00 pm.


Took a drive to Park City to see my old house and just see how much things had changed, which was significant.


Great Evening – Got together with another old friend from my work days in Salt Lake, had a wonderful barbecue and some great conversation. It was determined (Quite easily) that the three of us were the only ones which were normal and correct in our business assumptions from back in those days! So agreement was declared at least on one front. What a great time it was to see my old friends. These two are one of those small group of “friends for life!”


Good night’s sleep after a few cocktails and conversation!


Monday September 5th – Salt Lake City to Akron Canton – Ohio.


Flight left on time had an easy flight and connection on Denver, then non-stop to Ohio, which was nice!


Was met by my sister and her husband at nearly midnight, then headed to the house. Late night and good to be home!

Tuesday September 6th


Went to see Mom at the “home”, picked her up and brought her back to the house for s nice dinner. I spent the day processing some pictures and catching up on emails.


Enjoy the pictures. Several from various points of the trip…look for a summary with descriptions and details when I get to Florida!
