I plan to follow last years plan for the Around the Lake tour on April 11th. with perhaps starting a bit later than last year due to the good progress we made. So let’s start at 9:00 as it took less time than anticipated. All thoughts are welcome. I imagine weather to be fine at this point but will run the route a day or two prior and check with Weber Co. but this winter snow was not an issue so the Divide should be clear and warm up top. I take this drive often just for grins as I live in Ogden and if you are joining us for the first time you’ll see why. The plan for this year’s drive:
- Start (leave) at Mojo Drive Thru Coffee, just south of 4th. S & 4th. W. in SLC at 9:00 am,
- A-Fresh Market, 2nd. N & Main in Kaysville at 10:00 am,
- Rainbow Gardens, mouth of Ogden Canyon at 11:00 am,
- Down from the North Ogden Divide we’ll join Harrison Blvd once more and progress South to 42nd St. and EFS Corporate building and out back.
Lunch is new this year as Steiny’s now has a second location and a bit upscale near the McKay Dee Medical Center at the EFS and Flying J corporate building at 42nd and Harrison with ample parking off street at the main entrance. Over the creek and through the lobby, quite nice and you’ll agree I’m sure. I’ll see if John may have something in mind for us and I’ll keep you posted.
If you have been on prior OATLs you know this is not a race with the two little kinks along the way, Bountiful and Farmington but a gentle tour. Should someone wish to stop on top of the Divide there is parking there at the trail heads, just alert me early and I’ll pull in. Your choice. I have radios if someone but Drew and I would use them, I shall have them along as usual, walk- ie talkies and CB ch. TBD.
