Mustang's Stampede Snowbasin

More than 60 cars as part of the Intermountain Mustang and All Ford Stampede took a scenic drive from the Park City area to Snowbasin. The cars where parked on display in front of Earl’s Lodge during the BBQ lunch on the back patio of the lodge. Real NICE cars in a beautiful mountain setting - what a sight!

Intermountain Mustang & All Ford Stampede

This is Utah’s biggest, most celebrated Mustang show of the year and one that you will not want to miss! Each year Park City plays host to hundreds of Mustangs and all Ford performance machines that take over all of main street. It is here where you will see some of the finest, and fastest examples of virtually every kind of Mustang including vintage models, limited editions, collector cars, late models, even daily drivers. This show has it all. While this show features the Mustang, there are other truly amazing Ford & Mercury vehicles on display such as the Cougars, Pick-Up Trucks, Thunderbirds, and occasionally the legendary Thunderbolts, or Shelby Cobras will even make an appearance. It’s great fun for everyone young or old. Admission is FREE...If you missed this years event bring a friend or bring the whole family to next years largest gathering of Mustangs and Fast Fords in all of Utah!

Deseret Morning News Marathon and 10K

This was allot of fun once again, looking back several years my times have only varied 2 min. 30 seconds from 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009

This year I was a little slower but still averaged 9 minute miles. My challenge goes out to family & friends to join us next year, my brother Jeff and I ready to take on some more competition.

Loxahatchee Everglades

We experienced the Everglades on an airboat with a company called Loxahatchee Everglades Tours. Something everyone should experience, educational, beautiful and awe inspiring. On the way to the facility, we saw an Alligator in the waterway. So we stopped and got some pictures of him. While taking pictures of it, we saw an Iguana jump out of a tree and into the water. The Iguana was about 2 – 3 feet long. The bugs here are huge, and there are dragonfly’s everywhere. The company has a website: http://www.evergladesairboattours.com/fishing.html

Snorkeling and Fun in the Florida Sun

We took a Catamaran snorkeling trip to The Breakers Reef was lots of fun, not as colorful as Hawaii but just as fun. We saw Baracudas, Tarpfin, King Fish, Butterfly and lots of Jelly Fish. We all actually got stung several times. But they were littler ones so the sting went away rather quickly. Jewels got stung by one that hurt quite a bit but still went away quite quickly. The reef was in front of the Breakers Hotel. A well known hotel in the area that is very exclusive. The water here is around 84 degrees which makes it very pleasant.

Chilling West Palm Beach style

We spent several days at the beach right in front of the Marriott Ocean Point facility. It is a private beach for guests only. So it does not get overly busy. The sand is covered with seashells. The shells are in the water about 10-12 feet out as well. The shells vary in size, but the biggest one we found was about 2” wide. After a while, we stopped trying to find some to bring home because there were so many. The water is very shallow in this area as well. You could be out about 50-75 yards and still be in waist to chest high water. It was awesome! We also saw a Stingray right off the shore. It was in about 1’-2’ of water. It was dark so it was easy to see in the crystal clear water. It stayed very warm while we were here. It was around 90 degrees to 97 degrees. But with the humidity, it felt a lot hotter. Last we saw, the humidity was around 85 to 90. We are glad that we don’t have the humidity to deal with in Utah. The heat is a lot more tolerable.

We witnessed a rain storm like we have never seen. It rained so fast and hard that it was flooding everywhere. It seemed like it rained about 4”-6” in about 45 minutes. We all couldn't believe it. We were trying to capture it on film and video so we could explain it later. But it just doesn’t do it justice.

Ford Racing High Performance Driving School

While at the Rocky Mountain Mustang Round-up I was lucky enough to WIN a One Day Ford Racing High Performance Driving School experience at the Miller Motor Sports Park.
