Day #269 - Labor Day/Miner's Day

Today is Labor Day and it is also known as Miner's Day in Park City. Trav and I drove out to town and walked up Main Street and then down below Main Street to the festival. There was food/drinks, live music, stuff for kids and a Muck and Drilling competition that we watched for a minute. By this time my camera was out of juice, but it was pretty interesting to see.

The BEST part of today, was kicking Trav's A** at the bean bag game we played. It was honestly one of the best moments of my life...:)


Park City was established as a mining town. The announcer of the competition said there are over 500 miles of tunnels under Park City. Travis and I went on a tour of one of the mines for one of our anniversary's when we stayed in PC. It seems like a hard job and not one I would be too excited to do.


This photo is a mural painted on the walls of a tunnel to the park. It is pretty cool.

I Am Grateful,
HB

    I have to keep SOME secrets!! :) It was a long time ago and I think I liked it more then Travis...sort of like the Mt. Timp cave tour...you learn a lot and it is interesting, but it is not necessarily something you would do again ASAP...know what I mean?

    YES!! BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!! How many opportunities do I get to beat Travis? He laughed at me as well and maybe it is sad...but REALLY...I don't think I have screamed that loud and done that public of a jig for as long as I can remember...I may be pathetic, but it is true. LOL. HB
