Utah meet up?

[TimRiker]

From the members list it looks like there are a lot of us in Utah. I'd like to meet up sometime and compare builds, share experiences, etc.

Here are some pics from today's adventure. Who knows where this is?




What about this one?

TimRiker -- terrific idea ! Maybe into the early fall when maybe cooler temps and some fall aspens coloring up !? Would love to physically see actual places in photos 1 and 2 !

Bought my van in Provo ! Keep us up to date !

I dig that stripe.

Simple, basic graphic design ideas look the best. Maybe in time they will become the norm again.

Thanks! We were looking for plain white or some other light color, but it's really grown on us. One more thing to set it apart from a work van.

Your profile says you're in Georgia? That's quite a drive.

The tunnel used to be a railroad tunnel. It's South West of Provo on the other side of the lake.

I went to Oregon - Deschutes River meet and greet in May 2023 and then on to Oregon - wanted to push on to Alaska but body doctors wanted to stick me again so had to go home ! Wah - wah - Met some great vanners - Joe - Jeff - Larrie - Brad - a bit hot camping in the sun (Jeff grabbed the only "tree" shade" - won't hold that agin' him though. Love the terrain and aspens in Utah - and wanna check out "Blind Frog Ranch !"
Keep me up to date !

There are certain advantages to arriving early. Shade trees are my friend

I all in for Utah I make upwards of 4 to 6 trips a year....fishing season on the Green and venture off track very often going and coming. So let me know when anyone is open to connecting.

I see the Marysvale Train Tunnel on Google. Are there others to explore?

What are people looking for with a meetup? There are quite a few of us in SLC area. We could meet up for donuts or muffins, etc. and talk rigs. Suggestions? Something like meeting at Beans & Brews Coffee House off 7200 on a Saturday? Near the city, but still with lots of parking. Looks like it will be snowing this Saturday, so not this week.

Meeting up for camping or trails right near SLC would be better after things warm up around here.

Meeting up for camping / trails further South could be fun while it's cooler down south. Anyone have a favorite Boondocking spot for this that would handle a few of us without feeling like a Walmart parking lot?

Good luck getting anyone from Utah to give up their favorite spot.





I hear SoCal is nice this time of year . . . . :n5::n5::n5:

LOL. Agreed. Our favorite spots are away from anyone else. A meetup would need to be in a place that could handle more traffic.

The pads down by Death Valley would be a good example.

but that's in CA, not UT.
