This is my morning view five days a week, Monday through Friday, from 0750 to 0815. I’m here in my TRPTA bus waiting for any Victor Community School kids needing a ride south. It’s like a box of chocolates, I never know what I’m going to get.
During the winter I watched the Targhee buses pick up and drop off employees and skiers here, but that’s over. I’ve got the place to myself now as the Ice Sculptures are a long ago faded memory and the grass is greening up for the Farmers Market.
The Driggs Community Center is the hub of the Valley and I have to say it’s a pretty fine view as I stand at the bottom of my vehicles passenger steps reading sad news about tornadoes in Oklahoma on my smartphone.
I hitched through Oklahoma back in the sixties and spent one warm summer night sleeping in a field there. When I woke up an old farmer gave me a ride in his old truck. I told him I was from California and he told me about his nephew in Visalia, CA. Turns out his nephew was my best friend from middle school back in that small little town. Just one of many coincidences as my life progresses.
Beautiful picture. It’s amazing what memories will pop up from time to time. You have great stories, thanks for sharing :-)
The colors are fantastic. I loved looking at this picture.
