Renewing The Fairview Run

The old, lapsed club tradition of the Fairview Run was renewed on June 19 under, blue skies and scudding clouds (good scrabble word). The latter kept the heat down for the eight cars in the convoy. 

Or should I say two convoys? The run down US 89 from Lehi to Provo was uneventful, until construction blocked a critical left turn. At that point US 89 was lost, and then found in two different manners, leaving two convoys in search of each other. Fortunately, the slower one got ahead, so the faster one (after various mistaken turns and actually asking for help from locals), overtook it about 10 miles north of Fairview.

After a tasty and relaxing lunch at the Home Plate Cafe (try the roast lamb), the scenic and enjoyable trip up Fairview canyon began. As predicted, there were rolling hills, gentle curves, and no traffic. Upon reaching Scofield, some folks headed on to US 6 and directly home, while others did an about face for a second helping of Fairview canyon. After an I/O stop in Fairview (geek talk), it was onward toward home on US 89, 6 and I-15. All in all, it was a full day, with a total travel of about 250 miles.

Participants were Gary, Sandy and Margaux Lindstrom, Dan and Sharon Forster, Todd and Connie Pixton, Mike and Sally Pennington, Clayton and Sharon Merchant, Haruo Miyagi, Dan Kasha, and Don and Julie McEligot.
