Wow oh Wow oh Wow!!!! Sunday’s impromptu road trip was awesome. The weather cooperated and we had a great time cruising through the mountains. We had four Brit-mobiles, one Mercedes chase vehicle and two others in LBC’s who headed up the canyon before us.
Particiapants were: Kevin and Marie, Austin Healey; Larry and Margaret, TR6; Rich, TR 250; Roger and Jill, Sunbeam; Paul, Mercedes. Sorry, I missed who the other two people were who headed up the canyon before us (sources tell us this was the Jahnkes).
We basically re-did the Trappers Loop Tour. Up Emigration Canyon, through East Canyon where we saw the Mustang Club going the opposite way (must have been 30-50 cars), stop in Morgan to drain & refill liquids, (we got to the gas station just before the Layton Harley Davidson Motorcycle Club. At least 100 bikes! They were very interested in our cars and came over to look at them) through Stoddard and over Trappers Loop and the old Snowbasin road, and a late lunch at The Oaks. From there we headed down Ogden Canyon and took our own routes back home. It was a fantastic Fall Fiesta. The skies continued to clear all day and the tops were not really needed, although we did take preventative measures in Morgan.
Kerry, the Sheriff was at the gas station in Morgan. Could he have been looking for you?
Kevin et al did a dynamite job and we’re glad they invited us along on their Sunday drive. We hope that others will use the internet to inform the BMCU members of other informal, spur-of-the-moment drives.
