That's right - Torrey, UT. I asked for rocks to be added to the hot tub for ambiance.

Hotel: Noor Hotel, 877 UT-24, Torrey, UT 84775, 435-425-2525
King or Double Queens around $120/night which includes tax. Add $15/night for pets. There is room to park a trailer. There is a restaurant and convenience store on site.

Agenda:
Thursday: Arrive! Dinner is whenever/wherever you'd like. There's a Mexican restaurant on site. Shenanigans all evening!

Friday:
10am: Driving away from the hotel toward Escalante and back. Lunch at Circle D in Escalante. It's 132 mi round trip, about 3 hours according to The Google. For folks that feel like a hike, we'll stop at Lower Calf Creek Falls on the way back, which is 5.5mi round trip hike. It's not far out of Escalante. As the name suggests, there's a waterfall at the end and an opportunity to dunk your body in a super cold water hole. Friday night more people arrive!!!
6:30: BBQ at the hotel - burgers, dogs, vegetarian option ($10 CASH!). Shenanigans.

Saturday:
9:14am: Driving away from the hotel toward Capital Reef. We'll drive the Capital Reef Scenic Drive, drive through Hanksville to see Giblin Valley State Park, then meander back to Hanksville for lunch at Dukes Slickrock Grill, then back. It's 170 mi round trip, about 3.5 hours. If anyone feels like a hike, Chimney Rock Loop trail 3.3mi, or Hickman Bridge 1.7mi, are on the way back.
7:30: Dinner up the road 0.5mi at Rim Rock Patio. Shenanigans.

Sunday: Hasta la byebye.

Note: The only thing we're collecting $ for is the Friday BBQ, which is $10. Capital Reef is a National Park so bring your parks pass. Other meals are just regular restaurant protocol (you order, you pay for what you order).

Is the Diablo restaurant still there?

Passed thru Torrey 3 weeks ago heading toward Green River from St. George. Guessing you're headed down Route 12 the second day. Most scenic road I've ever been on. Fantastic.

Happens to be for me the same distance to WCR. I guess if my car makes it thru that it can make this biggrin.gif It's also the back way to Colorado that I didn't take last time.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Jun 2 2019, 08:00 PM

I'd say Salt Lake. Plus at least a handful of 914s to travel with (or ride along). Or Mike always takes his Subaru poke.gif

OK so the truth is I signed up for Okteenerfest and my wife will throw me out if I leave for RRC the day after I return from a 10-day drive to Tennessee. chair.gif

You don't want to use up your event tokens too fast. Too many too quick and they get harder to redeem.

event tokens? HaHa! I agree, it is a balancing act and I usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to getting debited or credited for such events, for example my wife has no interest in riding around in a "stinky old car looking at trees" in the mountains, - so she took 2 of the girls to Parris 2 years ago- didn't get to go, I had planned my Okeenerfest trips and had used up my tokens from the 2 trips etc(meaning a new paint job and car parts lol!)
, this year they are going - girls trip- to the last Queen concert, and I again am going to Okteenerfest!!- so I feel your pain - 30 years of marriage love my kids and my wife but sometimes I wonder what were were thinking 30 years ago with very little common interest in such things screwy.gif headbang.gif wacko.gif
one of these days I will do what Jim is thinking and fly out and joint you all in a trip around the western world!!

I just spoke with folks at the Noor Hotel. There are still several rooms left so I'm not sure what happened there @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=447 . They DID say the hotel is totally booked on Friday but since we're holding rooms under Porsche Group, we should be good until we hit our max room hold.
Short story - call the hotel, tell them you're with the Porsche Group, and book your room.
They'll release our room hold on Aug 19.

Yep. I remember the food was so good and presented so well, people were taking pictures of their plates before starting to eat. I counted 5 chefs in the kitchen. Not quite what I expected from a town of what? 5000? Alas, I won't be there to enjoy it this year.

My buddy from work just booked Fri-Sun, he will be coming up from Arizona in his Cayman.

Also think i finally talked my wife into coming down with my daughter on Friday afternoon once school lets out. Maybe we can have a "Teach Melissa to dive a manual" event in the parking lot! Then next year we could bring two 914s! driving-girl.gif driving-girl.gif

It would be excellent if Jeff Hines was there for the driving lesson. #EscalanteDonutsInTheField
(Note: I think Jeff would be a good instructor and have no doubt James wouldn’t start his daughter’s instruction with donuts unless in pastry form).

Wife=Melissa - The one I built the purple car for but still hasn't learned to drive a stick.

Daughter=Sydnee - My weekend driving buddy. She is only 8 but is the only one in my family to share my love of cars and the outdoors. Seriously the kid has had a fascination with cars since before she could talk. Pretty sure she will be driving a stick as soon as she can reach the pedals.

Arizona Cayman driving buddy=Aaron - Apparently the only Porsche owner in his area that can be bothered to make the trip poke.gif poke.gif poke.gif

Supposed to be tuned tomorrow. So I need no more surprises. If it isn't done tomorrow I will bow out. Hoping to leave early Thursday & get there for friday's drive

Things not looking great with my car. Keep finding more leaks. Had to pull my intake to reseal it. Damn valve covers keep leaking oil as well. Still hoping they can get it on the dyno today but not looking to good. Haven't thrown in the towel yet but I don't have much more time left before the decision get's made for me sad.gif

Just get there. You'll get a ride one way or another.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Sep 18 2019, 04:51 PM

Just noticed I'm still on the attending list. I shouldn't be.

I checked the 914n6 again this weekend driving.gif

...still hasn't fixed its own overheating/head gasket issue yet rolleyes.gif

Posted by: JRust Sep 18 2019, 07:06 PM

Well my car isn't ready. Still an outside chance he can finish my tune in the morning. If so I will come although I'll get a pretty late start leaving around lunch time. Torrey is a good 15 hour 1 way drive for me. The tuner wasn't super optimistic he would have it ready. He has a funeral to go to tomorrow. So doubtful he will have enough time. With my stand alone ECU & it being an older model. Anyway I'll update in the morning when I know for sure

Yeah Jamie. Drive on down in your truck or van. I remember when one young mans hastily planned trip once ended in minor crunch. You’ll get the bugs out and safely drive it to several future events. beerchug.gif

Oh I plan to flat tow it out if it's working. Wont be finished per see but if its tuned I'm fine. My interior will be a total mess

Went to gas up and...

my front trunk release snapped.


Worked a graveyard shift last night, been up all day and looks like its going to be a long night. Hoping I have a spare, if not i might borrow from one of my other cars.




















Posted by: JamesM Sep 19 2019, 02:42 AM

Trunk access repaired, should be good to go.

Hoping this is my "thing that breaks" for the trip. Well technically two things have already broken. While rushing to get the front trunk fixed I did the dumbest thing I have in a while and jammed a flat head screwdriver through my hand. On the plus side I found a use for that crappy harbor freight superglue I had in my garage. Didn't want to waste time getting stitches, had more work to do on the car!





Posted by: JRust Sep 19 2019, 11:21 AM

Car won't be ready so I'm not making the trip sad.gif . I know there are seats available but flights are way to expensive last minute. I'm not making the drive out now either. With the larger bill I've got coming from the shop. I am better off putting my money towards that. Sorry all I would love to be there confused24.gif
