3rd Official Utah Meet and Greet/Trail Run

Well i got the day off... and I think I'm leading the group... they were goona go eariler cuz they dont know the area and i wasn't able to go but now that I am I'm not sure about time

 

Date: August 21

Time: 10am

Location:

Cabela's
2502 West Grand Terrace Parkway
Lehi, UT 84043 US
(801)766-2500

*Meet on the Southeast section of the parking lot*

 

Okay 10am? I'll be getting up early that morning!!

 

10am unless we want to go back to 11am.

What works best for everybody?

 

Oh no no. Dont worry about it. 10am is fine for me. I'll just leave by 8am and I should have plenty of time to get there. Even if I am a little late it'll be no biggie. Hopefully Justin will have my bike done by that day so I can go pick it up after. He said he would try but no promises. I guess he has a couple of other bikes ahead of mine that he has to work on.

 

Oh and this is for anyone that is familiar with the area we will be trailing at? I have a lady friend that I might be bringing out on Saturday and she loves nature and the outdoors. Does Herber Valley have good sites around the trails? I invited her to come with but I dont want to take her if the sites arent pretty. Our 2nd run had some really good sites so I am just curios about our 3rd run?

 

If he doesn't have your bike done on Saturday I could pick it up. We could then schedule a day at the Knolls and I could bring it to you.

From the pics I'm seen from where we are going you won't be disappointed. My wife might be coming to take some pics.

 

Oh really Jas?? That might be a cool idea if you could get my bike for me if its not done on Saturday. I would really appreciate it!!! I know it would save me another trip into Salt Lake! Hmmm...thats something to think about. I'll see whats going on and let you know Jas. Thanks!! Hmmmm...if you do that, Ima have to get you something else for your truck!! AKA, yellow fogs!!!

Is there any place online to check out some pics of where we are going? I would really like to bring her with me, just dont want her to be dissapointed is all.

 

All the drive up is a standard canyon. Drive along a stream for a little bit. Lots of trees. Some ledges. Normal canyon stuff. Get to drive past the large reservoir.

I used to drive up and down the main road of canyons all the time, so it really didn't seem like anything to me, but maybe I've been desensitized, am a guy, just dont care, or something along those lines.

Along the way lots of people would stop and take pics, so I guess its considered pretty. If she's used to seeing dry Utah/Nevada, it'll definitely be a change, so it cant hurt.

As far as pics go, go check out Google Earth. Lots of people upload pics of spots and upload them there.


Now if you're planning to head up to Forest Lake after, I'd say thats a different thing and I'm sure no one will be disappointed there. The trail really isn't that hard. Its just the first part thats tricky (assuming no one has changed it). After that, I'd rate the trail a 2.5.

Nice find jas!! I probably wont be going on the forest lake run. I'm hoping my bike will be done by that day.

 

yeah there are plenty of pretty sites for your lady friend
but as greg said it is your typical canyon.

and as far as bumpin the time up to 11 I wouldn't mind at all

 

Okay sounds good. I'll see if she still wants to come on Saturday. It would be good to have a passenger, that way she can take lots of pics!!

 

hey guys, i am in town for the weekend visiting family... you can definitely count me in

 

Very cool! It should be a an awesome day, we have really good group Utah TW members.

 

Sweet!!! Another super white to add to the mix!!!

 

... have a good time everyone... Don

 

Sorry you cant make it out to this on Don. Oh well, theres always next time.

 

Thats it... I'm bringing some paint to add in some color to your rides.

I hope it dries up some up there, assuming the storm didn't just pass em right by. We might end up mudding a little if we want to or not. Weather looks really good for the rest of today, Friday and Saturday, so hopefully it'll be just wet enough to keep the dust to a minimum and the trails dry.

 

dustin81 is my cousin, he'll be sporting my old TRD Seat covers and my Undercover tonneau hehe
