Yes, Provo Canyon Is Haunted!

Last week was a rough one in the Chunko home.  My grandfather's funeral was Wednesday and I was unable to be there for it.  Andy left Monday through Thursday for Wyoming - his home away from home these days.  And then Andy left again yesterday for Fort Worth, TX for a short line meeting with UP and won't be home again until Wednesday.  I wanted to make the most of the short time Andy was home so...

After a long day at work on Friday, we met Andy in Orem (just north of Provo where his office is located) for dinner and then a ride on the Heber Valley Rail Road.  They have a haunted canyon ride for halloween that runs along the Provo river through Provo Canyon.  What a GORGEOUS place for a train ride - we'll have to do that next fall during the day when we can see all the beautiful fall foliage!  On the train ride, they told us numerous stories of how the canyon is haunted and then those stories played out (with actors, spot lights and lots of props) along the train tracks and river.  On the return trip, those haunting characters boarded the train and scared the unsuspecting passengers.  It wasn't too frightening, but just enough to make Riley think about if it was real or not.

Riley's wondering just how "haunted" this train ride will be...

Yes, Riley is getting our money's worth on his halloween costume!
