FrontRunners

This past week we joined the throngs of people to ride the new commuter rail train FrontRunner from SLC to Ogden, UT. For the first few days of operation it was tested FREE of charge to get people used to the train. Walt & I, Colleen along with Dave & Donna rode the train to Ogden and enjoyed dinner at "Karen's Cafe" before riding back to SLC. We rode the TRAXX to and from the park & ride to the train hub to say we'd tried out the current mass transit system here in the Salt Lake-Ogden area. It was a very very smooth ride taking abt 1 hour stopping 6 times. The passenger cars have 2 decks with the upper deck having plug ins for computers, razors, hair curlers, phones etc that commuters might use. The upper deck also has tables (horizontal spacse) to work on while you are traveling.




25th street in Ogden not only has lot of pubs, cafe and vacant buildings, they have antique stores galore. Kris, I think of you every time we go to an Antigue store or even see one. How fun it would be to browse one of them with you.
