    2016 Red Lodge Rendezvous! June 23-26th the Schnizel!

    Suffering from a bout of insomnia, so I started poking around looking for the best overnight stop en route from Salt Lake City. I pulled out my Butler map, and it looks like one possible plan of attack is to spend the night of Wed., June 22 in Victor, ID and then get up early on Thurs., June...

    2-3 day run to SLC

    "SLC" in the subject line caught my eye. I guess you are already on the road? You may have already done your homework on routes you want to explore while you're here in Utah. If I can help in any way, let me know. Curious--what brings you to the land of the Great Salt? Heheheh.

    What a wonderful weekend! Thanks for welcoming me (and not making fun of my zippy little ninja). I enjoyed meeting and riding with many of you! I have posted a few pictures on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lydiafb/posts/926807375165 Best wishes to all, Lydia

    Yes, there's already been at least one motorcycle fatality due to that construction zone. :(

    SWFog Travel plans

    I plan on wandering down from SLC into Torrey sometime Wednesday evening. Depending on the weather, I may travel via Wolf Creek, Indian Canyon, Scofield Rez, Huntington...or just slab it to Hwy6 and start canyoneering at the Scofield turn-off (although there is a major I-15 construction FUBAR at...

    Worth the NP entry fee...especially since there is a PIE place along that road! :) https://www.nps.gov/care/learn/historyculture/giffordhomestead.htm I've reserved a cabin at a campground in Torrey for the 27th. Will ride from Salt Lake City that day, stay in Torrey that night, then do some...

    First time I've seen a camera capture you literally wearing your heart on your sleeve. :) Love that you shared this with us! Anxiously looking forward to the next road pix!

    Here's one more local suggestion for anyone who loves a good steakhouse: Rusty's Ranchhouse Restaurant. It's located just a few minutes' drive from the hotel up Hwy 14. Might be a good place to stop at the end of the day coming down Hwy 14 actually... Rusty Aiken runs Rusty's and Milt's...

    I feel the same way about riding in the dark, Intech. The shadows fall at the overlook before sunset, so it won't actually be night yet as I head back down the NP road, and it's pretty much a straight shot up I-15 after the short ride down from the lookout so I don't think it will be too bad...

    Happy to hear this is a relaxed group of riders. I usually ride with 3-5 others here in SLC. Not a big fan of large groups that all feel the need to stick together - the only exception I made to that was for Tyler's Celebration of Life ride. That was extraordinary. On her ride through the...

    Curious...Is there a group itinerary for this long weekend, or does everyone just head out on their own each day and then return to homebase with their own stories to share every evening?

    So this is how you are getting the amazing road shots behind Sally? I love these! What features did you look for in this camera? Is it a point-and-shoot, or do you set the aperture for fast exposures before you start riding so that you don't get speed blur? How do you take pics with a big glove...

    Wow! Cedar Breaks open in early May? Amazing. I lived in Cedar 1995-2005 and I don't remember it ever opening that early. I guess that was before global warming. Ha. ...And I assume Hwy 14 is all repaired and passable again after the slide? (Was that already a couple of years ago now?)

    Neither of those google maps link for me, but I assume you are probably thinking maybe Wolf Creek...Indian Canyon...Energy Loop...Huntington...that kind of stuff? I've taken those roads and actually did a wonderful trip last summer into Torrey with a great group. Would be awesome to do that...
