Lessons continue for 2016 travels

July/August 2016
Lessons Learned:
*At outdoor festivals when people bring their own chairs they always begin to make rows
*Misters at a festival are so nice.
*Cooper mining in Butte may be nearly gone, but it is certainly not forgotten.
*Butte is the birth and burial place of Evil Knievel…  Town was happy when he left (he was a trouble maker) but happy to take him back after he found fame.
*The Irish and their music/dance are well ingrained in Butte as they worked the mines in large numbers.
*Local beer is always fun, easy to find in the travels out west but having to buy in a growler puts pressure on to drink it quickly.
*The lack of wineries in our travels has put our on board stock at risk so local buys will have to be from the store
*Seeing a newborn calf being born in a pasture one pulls over to see the little one standing for the first time and trying to walk to Mom is a testament to mother’s milk
*Never lose your driving skill in heavy traffic as Salt Lake City will put any city on notice as one of the worst
*When making reservations for The Rectangle always check where the trees are…satellite does not like trees.
*Listening to your spouse talking to ATT agent for wifi issues is like listening to a very funny SNL skit complete with foreign accents.
*There are a lot of families that live in the RV parks and follow the job from one place to another especially pipeline workers, data center electricians, speciality mechanics…
*The first day of school is very exciting in an RV park when the school bus stops with a lot of elementary students ready to learn.
*Downtown SLC is super clean but there are a lot of homeless on the streets.
*A great farmer’s market will yield great peaches, corn and fresh baked bread.
*Temple Square in SLC has it all together when it comes to tourism and when you start to see a lot of brides it must be Saturday Temple wedding day. (we were told there were 70+ weddings that Saturday)
*A massage makes it all better…thank you Massage Envy. Now to find that pedi/mani place.
