It sure could be a great place to stop for lunch, depending on the timing. I actually hadn't intended to go by it on Saturday, but it would be pretty early if we do. Looking through those magazines is a great idea!

Please use your own best judgement on the ride(s) planning....I am retired and can eat there whenever I choose...

Make it so.........lol It will be a good bit cooler than Apache Junction.

I bought my Stelvio in Chandler, and rode home in the middle of August. Rode over Skutumpah road from Hwy 89 to Hwy 12 as a dirt test. Great ride! I came up through Payson, Happy Jack and in to Flagstaff that way on the advice of my friend from down there. It was perfect. I came over Jacob Lake and into Kanab that way, then up the Johnson Canyon to Skutumpah as mentioned.

Look forward to meeting you. Were you in Cottonwood a couple of weeks ago?

I’m still thinking about leaving Denver Wednesday afternoon, spending night in Glenwood, Utah by mid afternoon Thursday. Any interest? Don’t know how far in advance we’d need reservations at the hot springs.

My fine Guzzista, I am working on getting us a tour of this. Most likely would have to be on Friday's ride. Ran into a fellow here the other day, and he said "humm Moto Guzzi, huh. I saw one the other day at this museum, it was a 3 wheel tractor thing"...............I immediately pursued more information, and came up with this. I have a message out to the web folks and hope to have it confirmed shortly.

Looks like he has a few other interesting things in the collection, some of it may be of interest some...........prob ably not.

Many of you may know Doug Easton. I rode up to his place in Evanston last week and hand delivered a flyer to him. He doesn't do electronic communications, he and his lovely wife are planning on being in attendance and they were very familiar with the Richard Erickson Foundation and had attended several of his events. A little over 2 months away!

The MGNOC newsletter has a bad link in it for the accommodations at the resort. Frank knows about it and will correct it for next months issue.

The link in the first post in this thread works and is accurate.

Camping: I have reserved the Springer-Hollow Group site for those interested in camping for Friday and Saturday night. If there is sufficient interest I will reserve for Thursday night also.

WasatchMountainStat e Park, Pine Creek campground. https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/wasatch-mountain/

Just to clarify - for a tent site do we have to contact the state park or is it taken care of by you reserving the site?
Is there anything else we have to sign up for?
Cheers
Roy

If everyone else is camping, I may cancel my reservation at the resort and join the campers. Anyone staying at the resort? Are tent reservations required?

Yup ………….. the two Canadians will be residing there for Fri and Sat night.

Was wondering if any of you might have a suggested route or routes from Vancouver that might be interesting …….. we will be on Stelvios.

My apologies folks, I have been on the California touring the Oregon Coast and Crater Lake area.

Ok, I have the spots reserved at the campsite, I would like to get a "good" head count as to how many are planning on camping. So, no you don't need to book with the campground, but I do need a solid head count, as I may need to get a bigger spot!

It is my understanding that the resort is sold out for the event! Which is both good and bad, I reserved 12 nights worth of rooms I had to pre-pay for them and didn't want to over commit myself, having never done this before. (Each room for each night is considered a room night) So, the Homestead Resort is across the street and is beautiful also. Their number is 1-800-327-7220, I know a gentleman and his crew from British Columbia were booking there.

I am working on getting the tour set up also, but have not heard back from them as of yet.

There are a bunch of great ways to come down, depends on how much dirt you want and how much time you want to take. I'm assuming you mean Vancouver, BC and not Vancouver, Wa.......

Through Oregon, has a bunch of great roads as well as some pretty good dirt. The biggest challenge in my opinion is tying South East Oregon to Utah without getting into some pretty remote territory. The Stelvio is great at being able to cover a lot of distance, but some of the area has some pretty intense roads that the big girl might be a handful to dance with on. If you want all pavement, but minimal slab there are some nice alternatives, but the same area just does not have a lot of roads through it.

Utrider · « **Reply #51 on:** July 18, 2018, 02:43:20 PM »

There is no official sign up, this is Not A Rally, so just getting together. Please come and enjoy the area and company.

I just need a good head count on the camping so I know if I need to get a bigger site. I am actually pleasantly surprised that the resort is sold out for us and will tie up more rooms in the future.

I'm new to this, so please bare with me, I do want it to be a great time and just need to figure some of the details out a bit.

Thanks,

Roy

That may work for me, coming from Niwot (Longmont). And gosh, I know we have met somewhere along the way (Ouray last year?).
I am tentatively planning to camp. Are reservations needed for camping?

Saw above where camping reservations are not need, just a head count.

Alanp - my plan would be to leave the courthouse in Black Hawk on Wednesday the sixth by 4:00 p.m., which should put me in Glenwood by 7:00 or so. I am thinking of staying at the Colorado Hotel, which is next to the hot springs. Any Colorado riders interested? I will make the Colorado Hotel reservations in the next week or so.
