Pictorial where did you go in your Stinger today

[Manaz]

I don't doubt it. But reference to Australian males in my schooling era was taken from the Goodies skit where by all Australian males were not as Bruce. I'll try and find it and post it.

It appears the Monty python skit refers to Bruce Dickinson the front man of Iron maiden.

No, Bruce Bruce was in reference to the Monty Python sketch, which was first presented in 1970.

The Goodies reference to Bruce came AFTER Monty Python - potentially as a reference to the Monty Python sketch.

These guys seem to have known each other and worked together to. It looks like they came through the University comedy scene. Just saw a sketch with Graham Chapman, Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke Taylor.

Oh, very much so. The British Comedy/TV industry was very tight-knit.

*SIGH!* I KNEW I should have taken pics yesterday outside the Sizzler restaurant (in my perfectly selected end stall), with the Wasatch Front mountains as a backdrop (we were to a "cousins reunion"). Then I could have posted about THAT and deflected this OT drivel. Heh!

Returned to Alpine Loop to hike the trail. Went further, and this is what it looked like where we turned around after c. an hour up:

We had the parking lot entirely to ourselves:


The empty parking lot was a presage of the trail. We didn't see a single soul on it. We did see motorcycle tracks. Apparently this trail is one of the few opened to all uses; hikers, bikers, motorcyclists and horseback riders. There are signs showing who is supposed to give right of way to whom (should have taken a pic): everyone gives right of way to horses; bikes and motorcycles give right of way to hikers; and motorcycles give right of way to bikes. This will never be a favorite trail; too hot and dusty (there are some really nice shady bits), and I don't relish sharing with anyone else but hikers. I guess we lucked out today. Don't have a clue why. Where was everybody?

When we got back to the car and were changing out of our hiking boots, a red Mercedes 560SL convertible (pretty certain about the model) with three young women came to use the outhouse. I saw them looking with curiosity at the Stinger. But the cat had their tongues, I guess. Later, as we completed driving the Alpine Loop, I saw the 560SL parked in one of the turnouts. They were probably taking in one of the overlooks.

I drove the Alpine Loop with greater confidence today, especially the parts where visibility ahead is pretty good. Lots of hairpins and sweeping one-eighties, climbing and descending. It's a great road, but not very fast because of opposing traffic; and, because of the wife, I never took it above 50 to 60. The canyon wasn't thronged today, so driving briskly could be indulged in. But any blind curve I had to slow down to avoid possible foot traffic. One group of four was stretched practically across the road in a single line. Heh! I barely had enough room to creep by.

This pic shows the contrast that one month can make; cleaned off road and the verdant green of high summer:

Check out how it looked in June:
