[Bmcu] Suggested Drives?

[kandmcowan at earthlink.net]

I'm looking for a good, but slightly shorter drive this weekend, maybe around 100mi total from SLC.  I need to be back in time to pull the trany on my brand new fresh out of the box restored Healey 100M, so I can chase the oil leak on my just rebuilt engine.  Kevin

>Option 1) Mirror Lake Highway-beautiful high mountain drive through the

>Follow it up as far as you wish to go, all the way to Evanston,Wyo. if you

>Option 2) Logan Canyon to Bear Lake- Find your way to Logan whichever way
>you prefer, I-15 or 89 to Perry/Brigham City. Head east up Sardine Canyon to
>Logan. Take highway 89 east out of Logan past Utah State Univ. into Logan
>canyon. Again, magnificent scenery all the way up to Bear Lake, drop down
>into Garden City and make sure you stop at either Lebeau's or the Quick and
>Tasty for their Rasberry Shakes this time of year. Drive around the lake
>over to Montpelier or take Ovid Canyon into Preston, Idaho. Can't beat the
>scenery. Again, this is a good climb and involves an entire day's jaunt. Do
>it during the week to avoid the SUV's pulling boats. Another very popular
>place. Well worth the drive in either case if you have the time and
>confidence in your machine, but I know you have an MG so that shouldn't be a
>problem. Now if you had that other brand that starts with the letter
>T......, well then all bets are off!
