FrontRunner Grand Opening

Today was the opening for the FrontRunner....the commuter train that currently runs from Salt Lake to Ogden. We decided that since they were giving free rides today that we would go ride it. They started giving rides at 2pm. We arrived at the Layton Station a little after 2pm and was told the wait was going to be a couple of hours and that they were only allowing about 30 people to get on per station so that people would get a chance to ride it, otherwise the trains would fill up in Salt Lake. About an hour later a different UTA guy tells us that we are looking at it being like 6pm or 6:30pm before we even get on the train (it was getting close to 3pm). We decided to stay and quite a few people ahead of us left. Then a little after 3pm they came and said they were now allowing 60 people to get on at a time. We got on the train at 4pm and rode it to Odgen and stayed on and rode it all the way back to Salt Lake and then back to Layton. We didn't get back to Layton until about 6:40pm....so it took us about 2 1/2 hours to ride the train but it was fun. There were LOTS of people at every station, there are 7 stops. There are stations in Salt Lake, Woods Cross, Farmington, Layton, Clearfield, Roy, and Ogden.

I have decided that it just is not fair when one day it is so nice outside and you can be out and playing or working for those of us that have a ton of yard work to get done. Then the next day it is windy, cold and SNOWING!!!!! What is up with that?? How dare it play tricks like that with us. Our bodies start to think that Spring is here and the warm weather is here and then it turns cold and throws us into "shock". But you know....no matter what the weather is outside you can always find beauty out there.
