You sure had a great weekend for an Antelope Island run. Jill and I decided that since Saturday was our anniversary, that we would take a long weekend instead. We opted to follow the route that we will take in 11 Days and see if anything had changed from last year. Here is our pre-tour report. First, the roads are good. No problems. Even in Castledale, where they are replacing a bridge, we had no problems. Traffic lights keep the vehicles moving. Also in Castledale, we found a restaurant that serves a variety of sandwiches, (Jill had an excellent French Dip), pizzas, hamburgers, salads and SCONES!. I had a hamburger that was very good. I think that we will stop there for lunch and there is a Maverick gas station/convenience store across the street. There isn't a park like in Huntington, but we can get out of the weather, sunny or ? and the parking lot is big enough for all of us. Second, the hotel, Howard Johnsons Hidden Falls, is nice and the proprietor, Art, anxiously awaits our arrival. Paul did a super job of laying the ground work for us. Art says, "Hi, Paul", and he's going to miss meeting you in person. Turns out that even though the internet ad indicates that there is a pool and hot tub, that is false. Neither exists, but we didn't miss them, we were having too much fun. The hotel also has a free breakfast with: toast, bagels, cereal, coffee, waffles, sweet rolls, boiled eggs, fruit juice, and fresh fruit. A good way to start the day. There is a Mexican restaurant fifty yard from the hotel as well as a Sinclair gas station/convenience store. Kind of like your own private set up. The rooms are nice and they were quiet. They have a fridge and a microwave in them. Our room looked out over a beautiful view of the red rock cliffs. We spent Saturday afternoon, all day Sunday, and this morning, driving various routes and checking out scenic viewpoints. The area is just getting out of Winter, imagine that, and the trees should be in full bloom in 11 Days. Every where we went, the roads were in great touring shape. Ask us about our Three Waterfalls in Three Days. Another thing, one of the times that we were talking with the proprietor, he mentioned that he had 13 rooms reserved by us. If you are going, would you be so kind as to send me a brief email indicating that and your cell phone number. I'd like to have a complete list of tourers and cell numbers for our safety as we travel. Send your info to: rogerdavis87 at msn.com Roger & JILL D.

This will push me to get my MGB out vs. thinking, 'oh well, I won't go today, I can just go next Saturday." I also like to do yard work on Saturday mornings; I'm assuming you might have other things to commit to on Sat. mornings as well. I couldn't make it to the Apr. 23rd event but seeing the photos of all the cars was great--beautiful silver Porsche 356. One of my dream cars! The first two Sat's of each month are easy to remember, and I'm guessing will grow the number of cars there. I have friends in SLC who are in the BMW 2002 club/scene and are interested as well. The goal of PC cars and coffee for me is to grow the number of cars that show up--period. Keep it simple. Feel free to share your discontent with me changing this. I say let's try it this year...we can always change things back to every Sat. next spring if this doesn't work. See you June 4th and 11th at the Kimball Junction Starbucks.

If you are going on the Tour and have not contacted me, please do so that we don't leave anyone behind. Roger D Saturday, May 28th 8:00 AM: Northerners will meet in the Southeast Parking lot of the South Towne Mall. We will head south on I-15 at 8:30 AM SHARP! Exit I-15 Exit # 258 9:30AM ish: Southerners will meet Northerners at the Chevron on the north side of eastbound US 6 in Spanish Fork. This is the first traffic light after exiting eastbound onto US 6. Good place for a rest stop. Gas & Snacks. ***Please let me know in advance if you intend to join the tour in Spanish Fork.*** 10AM ish: We head east on US 6 to US 89. South on US 89 towards Thistle and Fairview, UT. In Fairview, we will make a quick rest stop before heading EAST on U 31 towards Huntington. Will stop near the summit of this canyon to gather everyone & make certain that all have made it thus far. In Huntington, at the junction of U 31 and U 10, we will turn right towards Castle Dale and our lunch stop at Big Mommas. There is a Maverick across the street from the restaurant for gas & snacks. After lunch, we will continue south on U 10. We will CONTINUE UNDER I-70 and on towards Loa. Note: the first part of this road is labeled Frontage Road and that is OK. Just continue on for a BEAUTIFUL road to Loa which is now U 72. DO NOT ENTER ONTO I-70!!! In Loa, turn Left (east) on U-24 toward Bicknell & Torrey. Our hotel, Howard Johnsons, (435-425-3866) is on the east side of Torrey. Tell Art, the manager, that youre with the British Motor Club. We stayed there last weekend and Art is excited to see us and our vehicles. Sunday, May 29th The hotel has breakfast included with your room and this is a good place to find out what others have planned for the day. This part of Utah has INCREDIBLE scenery and wonderfully smooth and twisty roads. If you want a day long tour that is possible. If you want a shorter ride after our long trip, that is possible, along with everything in between. I would recommend that you stick with the paved roads where you will have access to historic districts, petroglyphs, great cliffs, natural bridges, regional folding of the sedimentary formations, and waterfalls. Check out Capitol Reef National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park on the Internet. Monday, May 30th Your return route to home is up to you. You can retrace your route, which provides completely different views, or select another possibility. Those in a hurry may head up Hwy 24 & 50 to Scipio and I-15. Those more prone to the view at Sunbeam Alpine speeds are welcome to find their way on Hwy 24 to Salina and Hwy 28 to Nephi. Or you can continue north on Hwy 89 through Thistle to Spanish Fork and the back roads, to avoid the freeway, to Salt Lake City. Roger Davis 1906 E.

Yes, Frank & Vicki, welcome to the BMCU and our merry band. I'm not certain if there are any rooms left, but a call to the Howard Johnson's wouldn't hurt if you'd like to come along. That area is a pretty popular place this time of year and of course the holiday weekend makes it even more so. Here is another idea for you and I'm going to propose this to the rest of the club as well. A couple of the members are going to drive with us to the lunch stop in Castle Dale and then head back to the SLC area. You, and anyone else, are invited to come along with us this Saturday morning. If you do decide to come for a drive, you will see some of Utah's famous twisty roads and scenic views. Just let me know if you're going to come, so we don't leave anyone behind.

Don't forget your hat and sunscreen! To All BMCU Members: Since there is no other club event this coming weekend, you are invited to travel with the Torrey Tourers on Saturday morning. Some people are already going to come with us to the lunch stop in Castle Dale. Come on out, drive your LBC, and have a great time. Drive as much or as little of the Torrey route with us and enjoy the Utah scenery. The only freeway is the stretch from Sandy to Spanish Fork, and we will be on that early enough that there won't be much traffic. The rest of the route is wonderful two lane highway. So come on out and enjoy a Saturday morning tour with us. Meet at the southeast corner of South Towne Mall (10600 South and State St in Sandy) at 8AM. We will be leaving at 8:30AM SHARP!

Message-ID: Well, despite what seems to be a particularly wet and late spring, we are supposed to be getting closer to some LBC driving weather! And what better way to show your dedication to the sport than with "Drive Your British Car Week". This a national campaign every year to create more awareness of our sport. "May 28th to June 5th" is supposed to be the "Official Week" but if your like me it's just an excuse to use your favorite car as your daily driver for the week! So, drop the hood (top), pull on some string back driving gloves, put a smile on your face (bugs love a clean grill to squish on) and lets get out there! And when you see another LBC be sure to dip (flash) your lights, give a tip of your tweed cap and honk.
