July 28th: Horseshoe's and other garden games

I got up early and fetched our bagels from the Einstein Bagel company down the road. I know by now that Sofie will never be disappointed if there is something chocolate in it.
Our start took us along a different bike path, this one towards US 40. Busy it was with joggers, cyclists and people who took their dogs out. We cycled one mile on gravel to UT 248. Boy, this route did not meet my expectations! In my dreams I thought this was going to be a quiet roadway, in barren surroundings. Well, it was a quite busy road and it is all ready to be exploited. Roads are already laying out... the housing still has to come. I guess Park City being so closeby and the views on Jordanelle Reservoir State Park makes it a place to bloom in the next couple of years. Signs for deer to cross at certain points are dotted along the roadside; I just hope the deer know this! The Provo River gives it water to this reservoir, made by a dam, and necessary for the water in the surrounding towns and cities. So it was a climb with a view... On the other side of the hilltop lays Summit Valley. On one of the slopes stood the letters S S ... referring to South Summit, I later learned. The valley is irrigated which gives excellent opportunities for farming. We arrived way too early at the Inn. Scoop out town , we said. Well, Kamas is a very small town, but it did have a library (but only a short time limit on the computers - not like here in Payson). What to do next? More walking ... and eating lunch. What a blast was that. Our waiter expected us to choose from the menu but instead we ordered a coke float (my favourite) and Sofie had a white lady (dame blanche) with a cherry on top (o no, they were out of cherries, instead the waiter arrange for a raspberry). The price of our lunch was ridiculously low.
We waited in front of the Inn till 2.30 p.m. We finally were able to see our majestic room . We enjoyed the afternoon sitting, playing and reading in the lovely garden.
Dinner at 5.50 p.m. was in the local shop. The burgers there were voted best of Utah 2009 ... who would miss such an opportunity?
Sometimes we have bright ideas and that evening was one of them: lets rent a DVD! What a bummer was that! The movie "Australia" was hard to follow in the beginning, but once we understood what was going on, the DVD played tricks on us... making watching irritable. Instead of finishing the 2 hours 30 minutes movie we went to bed.
