Run to the Island
Thanksgiving turkey. Flowers for your date. Rain on the Antelope Island run. It’s all traditional.
The run to the island started at 10:00am on Saturday, May 11. The cool morning had a threat of rain as a group gathered at the capital. The number of hard-topped cars indicated the thought on everyone’s mind: get ready for the usual May shower. Another tradition happened as the Forster’s TR6 refused to cooperate and caused them to show up in Detroit iron instead.
As we headed north on the freeway, the clouds made good on their threats and here came the rain. But by the time we met up at the “northern” gathering point in Layton, the rain had stopped. By the time we took off for the island, a few convertibles had the top down. And when we finally rolled onto the island, the sun was pouring down the rays like the rain that came earlier.
The sunshine was a bit deceptive, however, as the breeze was a bit cool. We stopped for lunch at the beach under one of the covered picnic areas. That was the most people I’ve ever witnessed at those tables—we crowded together to conserve heat!
After lunch we made our way across the island and up the drive to the ranch. That has to be one of the most fun drives: the road is smooth, curvy, and uncrowded. I’m not sure, but I think we took a few liberties with the posted speed limit. Don’t tell!
It was a fun drive, and beautiful Saturday, and everyone had a great time. Attending were Chris Schell, Bill and Julie Van Moorhem, Bill and Julie Robinson, Jean Glines and her sister, Julie Bauer, Elliott and Laurel (?) Cheney, Dan and Sharon Forster, John, Liz, and Judge Green, Matt and Cacia Rodgers, Jerry and Joy Wilson, Mark and Joyce Noeltner, Rob and Natalie Green, Nicholas Nichols, Mike and Susan Cady, Jeff and Marilyn Perkins, Joe Chou, and Nathan Massie.
