[Bmcu] Trappers Loop

[Clayton Merchant]

What a fantastic turnout for some great weather driving we had for Trappers
Loop! I want to thank you all for coming out and for those that were unable to
attend, you really missed out. We had at last count 25 cars carrying close to
40 people on the trip and what a great variety of cars! Due to the oil spill
in Liberty Park earlier this summer and the conflict with British Field Day,
we had to move this drive to a later date and based on the comments I've
received, we should look at making this permanent. We had perfect weather and
at least for this year, the colors in the canyons were absolutely spectacular.
We encountered two other car clubs during the day headed in the opposite
direction and got plenty of honks & waves and lights flashing from the Ford
Model A club just outside Morgan as well as the BMW group that was coming up
Ogden Canyon. We had alerted "The Oaks" when to expect us and they took us
right in with very little wait. A lot of good food and conversation was had
for lunch before everyone headed for home.
Just to give you an idea of the cars in attendance, we had 5 MGA's, 4 TR6's, 2
Austin-Healeys including Drew's bugeye which is back in service and looks
great, 2 TR250's, 2 Loti, Jerry Smith's beautiful XKE Coupe, a TR4, an MG
Midget,MGB,TF,YA, a Sunbeam Alpine, a Spitfire and a '62 Mini along with an
incognito Pontiac Solstice. Something for everyone.

In attendance were: Dana Green and a friend,Jon Maclean,David
Christensen,Steve Nelson,Darin Graber,John & Barbara Progess, Roger & Jamie
Dotson, Jerry Smith,Jim Stover,Rich Weyland,Duff Lawson & Chris Dunbeck, Roger
Davis,Marty Van Nood,Rob & Mary Foye, Bob & Valerie Lux,Larry & Margaret
Farrington,Dave & Anne Spendlove, Adam King,Wade Knapp and daughter,Floyd &
Kathy Inman,Rob & Nan Green, Drew Frink and myself and Sharon and I'm sure I'm
missing a couple others.

We got just a couple of bad pictures before our battery on the camera gave up,
so I hoping that someone else got some good shots. I did see a couple of
people with cameras. If you did, please forward them to Drew.

Thanks again all!
Clayton
