WEDNESDAY, MAY 28 - FRIDAY, MAY 30TH

Wednesday was a "real" rest day for The Team. They hung out at the camp site, played Golf, suntanned, and fought from the second they woke up until the time the sun went down. Needless to say, DV was driven to the brink of mental turmoil!

Faithful Toyota Tundras (best Trucks on Earth), sit and wait for for the day of protecting the Team.

Thank goodness May 29th came around. We rolled out of the tent, got our ride-on, and nailed down 100 miles; just setting us 20 miles short of Salt Lake City, Utah. The Team handed out handball DVD's, Emmett's CD (Under Roses), and spoke about handball to the locals. Toyota Trucks, Firstar Sports, the WPH and Handball were all winners on this day.

Friday, May 30th, brought us to Salt Lake City, Utah. The Team rode 23 miles in one hour and ten minutes. Not a bad average considering the fact that Emmett was navigating by memory, as he only looked at the road map once prior to the day's trek.

The Team needed a meal, so we stopped into "Noodles" (Chinese/American restaurant) before the final jaunt to the "Sports Mall" athletic facility (just 4 blocks down the road). We all sat down to order when Emmett catches the eye of a Blond dressed in Medical Scrubs (makes sense, as we were directly across the street from the state's leading medical hospital). Both 20 year old's smiled and went about their business of ordering and sitting down. When we got back to the Tundra, there was a note on the Vehicle asking our table to call her as she was single (see attached pics below).

Emmett is in town for 10 minutes and they are already falling at his feet!!!

After navigating through Emmett's ego, we ride the next few hundred yards to the Sports Mall. The Sports Mall is a full-service athletic club with multiple tennis courts, handball courts, a Olympic size swimming pool, weight room, hair salon, restaurant, and bar, to name a few.

WPH Message Board Legend, MichaelFJF (Michael Fendrick) was there to greet us, as we rode into town (pics below). The Team had matches starting at 5pm and 7pm, respectively, so they quickly said their "hellos" and moved to the courts.

The Team makes their way to the Sports Mall in Salt Lake City, Utah. Fink takes a moment to show us how vain he is; meanwhile, MichaelFJF heads the welcoming party by meeting us in the parking lot.

As quickly as The Team arrived, the on-court exhibitions started (Dave Fink schools young Richael: pic below). Emmett played his 5pm match vs. Jim Cooper (10, 0), then heads into the court for a 20-man pro clinic with Dave Fink.

After playing Jim Cooper, Emmett stops off to brush off the teaspoon of sweat calculating on his chin. "Coop" happens to be one of the greatest dudes on Earth. Good dude!

This night ended all too quickly, but we resigned for the night in a lap of luxury--THE LOFT AT BRITT REED'S HOUSE!!!

THANKS BRITT AND DIANNE!!!!!
