___DRIVE ROUTE___
Road construction along the path APPEARS to be mainly done, so this is a GO...!
If needed, we'll alter the route "as we drive"....
___PEOPLE___
I've heard from several who will be there ... how about YOU?
I know life is busy running a million miles per hour [feels like summer is
already half over!], but it is always good to see friends and meet new
people...so please join us!

___DRIVE ROUTE___
I drove the "path" recently ... and, almost unbelievably, MORE road
construction along the proposed way has started. So ... this might be
dramatically changed/shortened (canceled?), depending on how long the road
construction lasts. I hope to have more details in early July, but this part
of the gathering might not be settled until the day of the event.
___"NUMBERS"___
The first 2 years, I "kept track" of those planning to attend, which is why
I've had a few inquiries about how many are expected this year. The answer is
... I don't know. It would be nice if the "third time is the charm" ... and we
had more people than we did the first year (65), instead of having a turnout
like last year (20). Guess we'll see.... If you are planning to attend, post
a reply here ... and "talk it up" ... and tell others about it. Remember ...
ALL ARE WELCOME!!!

Due to some newly-started road construction, the _DRIVE ROUTE_ may be altered.

I wish I could make this one, but I'll beshooting a car show in the little
town of Kamas, which is in a valleyin the middle of the Wasatch mountain range.
The date is also Utah'sstatehood day, known in these parts as "Pioneer Day."
Anyfunction on that day is usually very well-attended...to the point ofpacked,
especially if it's a freebie.
Anyway, I hope it all goes well for ya and I'll be there inspirit...more or
less. :)
