After driving 36hrs from MD to UT, Jason hung out with me in Park City for a few days. He spent his days traveling the FREE bus system we have here in PC. The buses are free to help alleviate the parking on and around Main Street.. Park City's main tourist attraction.
Main Street is home to may restaurants and shops most which are pretty pricey. Just a few blocks over is the Park City Mountain Ski Resort.
Many celebrities frequent PC and some actually live here. The Sundance Film Festival is PC's most famous event. In the middle of January, Hollywood uplifts itself from California and drops into Park City to view the lastest round of Indie Films.
Come visit and you may get to see Paris Hilton draggin' her little rat dog around town. ;)

MD to UT in 36 Hrs
My brother, Jason, and I, drove from Baltimore MD to Park City UT in 36 hrs (1 1/2 days). We drove I-70 for almost the entire way until we arrived in Denver. We then turned north and connected with I-80.
Traveling through Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and then finally into Utah. The most interesting site was seeing the St Louis Arch lit up at night as we drove through the city around 9:30pm. We then stopped in Ft Riley, KS to drive through the area where Michelle and I first lived after we were married. At 2:00am... nothing looked quite the same as I remembered it. :)
3:30am, we finally had to stop and rest. At a remote Rest Stop in Kansas, we both napped while the bitter cold wind whipped the truck back and forth. After an 1 1/2hr snooze we were back on our way...
The road was good to us for most of the drive. We averaged just over 65 mph for most of the trip. But the moment we arrived in Cheyenne, WY on I-80 our travels quickly slowed down.
Because of bad weather, blowing snow and ice, the road turned gnarly and our speeds dropped to below 25mph until we got almost halfway thru Wyoming.
Jason took pictures most of the way but unknowingly had his camera set to Black & White. They turned out pretty good.
