Re: Spring in Utah, First Run When?

grrrr saturday events. I hate having to work saturdays. When you plan the events Scott make sure you split up the sat and sunday runs so I can get out of the house and get my rig dirty. A buddy from work gave me a trail guide on DVD from the BLM has a bunch of USGS topo maps with the trails, however I did find it lacking a large portion of the local trails as well as missing a ton of the Moab trails.

Promise you on that Steve, we do lots on Sundays as our Babysitter is a Saturday churchgoer. We'll definitly split it up. Like to do a couple of overnights too. I think since we still have well over a hundred inches in the spots we want to hit in the Uintas it would be fun to do another one day trip around the Great Salt Lake. It uses great portions of the old Transcontinental Railroad bed and is a real blast. You get to see a bunch of ghost towns and this time of year it wouldn't be so blazing hot. A couple of other ghost town destinations out that way too. I'll get cracking on some more planing, but how many would be interested in a round the lake day? There are pics from Mr. Tibbs and Smigett with us last year here:

Offroad around the Great Salt Lake 07 pictures from off roading photos on webshots

I think we stopped for 6 ghost towns and an old graveyard, there was more but we were trying to beat the dark. Now we actually know the route . The GPS got us through pretty flawlessly the first time but it's nice to have a track out in the middle of nowhere










any interest?


Scott

Re: Spring in Utah, First Run When?

Scott,

I'm good to go as well, lets do it before it gets too damn hot!!

Perhaps we could all even spend a night at Wendover to get a good jump on it first thing in the morning.

Re: Spring in Utah, First Run When?

I'd like to go asap, which day or weekend are you free Kathy? I'm good for either day this weekend. Next weekend would work too. I have a comittment with a run over memorial day I was invited to so I'm not free that weekend but I'll share with everyone when I get back.

Re: Spring in Utah, First Run When?

It just occurred to me that Sunday is Mother's Day. I'm still up if other people don't object.

Re: Spring in Utah, First Run When?

My vote is for next weekend for the ghost town/western utah run.

If somebody wanted to do a half day or so this weekend, I could probably make it, but a whole day trip on this sat or sun would likely be out..

Either day next weekend, 17th and 18th, is wide open. I hope that works for everyone else as well. Can't wait to see everyone.

I have a new toy too. Or maybe I should say, that giant cup holder in my front bumper, is now FINALLY filled with a large recovery device
