A beautiful Nebo fall color tour
Some habits put you more in a groove than a rut. That's the case with the BMCU annual fall color tour 'round Mt. Nebo. This year the unbroken string of fine weather was maintained, although a down pour an hour before rendezvous time raised doubts. And despite this year's drought, the fall colors were beautiful, especially the vivid red scrub oak at lower levels, and bright golden aspen higher up.

The route followed was the standard--down Redwood Road to Lehi, then along the west shore of Utah Lake to Elberta, then Goshen with its lovely sports car canyon, past Mona Lake to Nephi, then east to the Loop Road, with a picnic lunch at Bear Canyon Campground. Then up and over, with no overlooks overlooked. Finally, farewells and “same time next year” resolutions were exchanged at the de-mustering point at the mouth of Payson Canyon.

Participating were: Todd and Connie Pixton, Tony Walker, Buck MacConaghy, Julie and Bill Van Moorhem, Jule and Don McEligot, Mike and Sally Pennington, John Progress, Ken and Patrick Gleason, Mark and Joyce Noeltner, John "Barney" and Toni Bauernhuber, Nan and Bob Green, Larry and Margaret Farrington, Jon and Susan Hermance, Kendall and Connie Dewsnup, Nick and Stewart Nichols, and tour leaders Gary, Sandy, and Margaux Lindstrom.
