On Saturday Rick and I decided we needed to do some exploring around our new stomping grounds. First we had to check out the home. The
foundation is done and ready for framing.
We know where the Stansbury Park Clubhouse, Swimming Pool, Tennis Courts and Golf Course are because we drive past them to get to our new home. As Maddy and Marissa pointed out, Of course I still have a swimming pool within walking distance of my home.
We decided to find the
Miller Motor Sports Park. We had been there once in 2007 for the Le Mans race and were not impressed so we thought we would see if they had upgraded. Yeah, not so much.
Then we went a mile up to road to the
Deseret Peak Complex. That place has everything including Chariot Races on Saturday afternoons! Seriously! Rick promised I could go to them but I can't remember what I have to do to full fill my side. Crap!
Next we visited the Phillips 66 on Main Street in Tooele. They have very clean bathrooms unlike the Mavrick at the entrance to Stansbury Park. PLEASE - DO NOT STOP THERE! They are horrible. Just keep on driving the mile to our home and if you don't want to go in my home, stop at the Flying J in Lake Point. Their's aren't too bad either.
So anyway, we had our drinks, my orange cream icee cause it isn't carbonated! And we were off to find all the golf courses in Tooele.
We went to the
Oquirrh Hills Golf Course which is near the mountain. They have a lovely driving range. We also drove part way up Middle Canyon. I saw some critters up on the edge of the hill. They looked like Ostriches. I am going to find out.
Then we found
The Links at Overlake. That place was a crack up. Seriously, you drive on gravel roads to get there! This is the GOOD road.
The place was as flat as could be. The funniest part of it all was that the parking lot was half full of pick-up trucks and it was snowing! That's right ~ there were tons of people out playing on January 3oth with flurries flying all around them.
I knew that Tooele would be hard to live in but seriously!
