Weekend with Dave on 11-8-08

We first went to Pioneer Park in Salt Lake City. I had never been there before.

This statue is for the Pony Express

I think it would be neat to see this mill when they have water running in it.

Most of the leaves in the valley have turned colors or are already fallen off the trees. The location of Pioneer Park, located on the bench must be in a thermal belt because many of the trees are still green.

I hadn't even thought about the Donner Party coming thru this valley on their way to California.

The afternoon at the Salt Lake City Zoo.

I didn't notice that when I took the pictures of the cougar that the camera focused on the fence.

The Penquins were out in the open area

Gotta love this signShe is a cutie. She looks so intently into your eyes.


It was a great fall day to get out and see the sights.

Fall Trikke Ride

These past 3 weekends have been the best fall days for bike riding and I have been taking advantage of it. This last Saturday (Nov. 1st) I did something different.

My friend Jan has this interesting mode of transportation called a Trikke. Last Saturday, she brought it for me to try. It takes some lernin' to get the hang of it. But I guess you can't ride a bike the first time you get on either!

Jan is the pro.

She zigs, she zags.

Sights along the way....

This little guy was born a little late in the year. He sure is an interesting color. Probably one of the last colorful days of the year and we enjoyed every bit of it! Thanks Jan, I had a blast learning to ride your Trikke!
