Right calf still sore but feeling quite a bit better. Left knee hurt pretty badly for the 1st quarter mile. Was fine once it warmed up. Everything else felt really good and I should be ready for Park City on Saturday.

It is very possible that you might be able to do OK in Park City. The question I wonder about is what is going to happen in TOU and St. George.
I am treating Park City as a training run. I am planning on running about 30 seconds per mile slower than my usual marathon pace. I knew when I signed up for the Grand Slam that a couple of the marathons would have to be treated as training runs and not raced.
Goodluck at Park City, you know your body best. I would certainly try and stay off the camber or uneven roads. The rail trail will cause a problem. If I were you, I would not be afraid to drop out if needed. If your "A" race is St. George, I would keep that in mind. B of BS Rools out. *Note, I walked in the last 8 miles of the 2003 Ogden marathon rather than chance a knee issue. Your call, be careful.
My knees and lower back were shot by the end of the Grand Slam last year. The only thing holding me together by St. George was chiropractic and large doses of ibuprofin. Fortunately the dirt paths and lack of ludicruous downhills makes PC a good recovery course. Good luck, and be careful.
