I'm looking forward to this. I need a deadline or other factor to motivate more work on the -6, and I'm dying for a road trip. With a couple days in Yosemite for good meaure, and a week off...

Is there information on this elsewhere, couldn't find any, like cost, how to register.
Tried a search couldn't find anything but for past years. But I am search challenged.
I drove my car 500 miles last weekend it should make it to Utah.

Am looking at a second run .... Beaver to Bryce Canyon Nat'l Park .... 176 miles total ...
Lunch at the Hungry Coyote ... best ribs anywhere
Problems:
1.) Anybody younger than me has to pay $25 for entrance into the Nat'l Park
2.) Return route is same as the way in.
Oh well ... gonna stare some more at Google Earth.

Hey Jeff, we're not organized enough yet to determine fees other than t-shirt cost ($25 which is separate - see t-shirt ordering thread or talk to Ferg to tell him what size you want). Lunch tabs will likely be taken care of by each individual at lunch. If we end up doing a dinner that is a flat amount for the group, I'll collect money at RRC.
Just tell me you're attending - that's your registration.

Thanks for the info, might try and make it. Been wanting to drive the 914 to Albuquerque to visit the Grandkids, could make this a stop on the way or way back.
Turns out beavers exactly half way. I'm going to plan for it....I'll let you know for sure as it gets closer.

How could you possibly miss an event where the world's largest ice cream cones are right across the street from the hotel?
How could you pass up a pool that actually has water in it?
How 'bout a hotel that doesn't lock the front door at 7 PM?

Even though you are over 62 and have a Senior Pass for all the Nat'l Parks, I made a rule that Retired Vegan UPS Pilots

Scott, don't forget you must dress appropriately, ie period correct. A group from the Shelby American collection went a few years back and had a fantastic time.They ran several european vintage races, which are not gentleman races. They are balls to the wall but with old expensive cars. Joe, who helped me with Mustang project was on the pit crew at the Spa race.

If you have Netflix, watch season 6, episode 9, of "How I Met Your Mother" for a beaver-related episode. It has a catchy beaver song and everything. The episode title is "Glitter".

Since we may not have "giveaways or prizes" this year (I'm tired of asking for freebies), I have proposed a food fight at the awards dinner much as seen in "Blazing Saddles" ... pies, mashed potatoes, butter, frijoles ...
And at the mention of fijoles, I would heartily endorse a bean eating episode around a campfire. That should please the Vegan Elleyot. We can have Mongo as a guest of honor. Matches are optional.

I'd be happier if beaver were taken off the map completely. Pretty sure that speed trap exists just so the
hole cops that work there have a place to run amuck.
I have made the drive from between So Cal and SLC at least 15 times. Only place I have ever had a problem with cops was Beaver. They will pull you over for doing 73 on I-15 in the middle of nowhere, and they will make it a mandatory court appearance even if you live out of state and tack on warrants and tons of fines if you don't show. Try calling them to sort it out and the only person that can help you is the judge (the only one they have) but he can never take your call as he is always in court.
bunch of
ing a-holes
anyways *rant off*
The drive itself sounds nice though, just realize what you are getting into down there. who knows, maybe its gotten better since the last time i made the drive.
