Salt Lake Hangover Run

[deserth3]

So anyone in the Salt Lake area interested in a 1 January 2012 hangover run??

 

[skeptic]

I guess I missed this... Haven't checked the Rockies sub forum in a while, but I'm itching to get out somewhere. Mountain trails are going to be snowed in for a while, but maybe a weekend trip to your favorite desert areas? I'm out of town this coming weekend (3/10 3/11), but if you set something up for a following weekend I should be able to join.

Saturday the 17th would work great for me. I'm having withdrawals. :whaa:

 

[skeptic]

Damnit! I JUST found out I have to work Sat the 17th.. Starting at 5am.

 

[deserth3]

That ducks I work the following weekend

 

[skeptic]

Hold that thought. There may be some changes to what I need to do. Possible that I'll only need to work an hour or two fairly early and be able to go play.

 

[skeptic]

Looks like I'm back in with one caveat. I have to be back home by 4:30pm so it needs to be a morning/early afternoon run.

 

[deserth3]

Anytime is good for me. I'll be screwing up my sleep schedule regardless what I do. I just need a time and place to meet.

 

[skeptic]

Sounds good. Looks like my plans are changing slightly again... They are pushing out my work time a bit, don't need to be back until around 7pm. Of course, still not confirmed, but it's looking fairly likely. I also may have someone else coming - not a hummer, but an older lifted 4x4 truck. I don't think he's ever been offroad before so the desert should be a good easy starting point.

I forget exactly where you live, so just post up where and when you want to meet and I'll be there.

I live in Sunset.
Last time we met a McDonalds on Hillfield Road. That would work for me.

Want to meet at 9am? That would put us out there about 10am. Bring lunch. Also bring CB if you have one.

 

[skeptic]

Since I'm in Clearfield, edge of Layton just off Antelope the McDs on Hill Field sounds like a good spot. Unless something changes again (very doubtful work will change the times again) I'll be there, CB in hand.

 

[deserth3]

Cool. Hopefully we don't get rained out. I may also have a Jeep friend join us.

 

[skeptic]

If it rains we'll just do some mudding as well.

 

[deserth3]

Mudding out there is not a good expereince. It's like driving on greese. When I first bought the truck I got in a hurry and took it out there. Just sitting at in geer at idle, the truck did a 180 on it's own. I almost couldn't make it 30 feet back to the road.

I really think it's better if we put off this run.

I was being tongue in cheek about the mudding part.. Now that I finally looked at the weather forecast I have to agree. It looks like it's going to be miserable. Mudding in FL on a warm day = fun. Mudding when it's 60* and windy where the trails get stupid slick = not fun.

Lets check the forecast tomorrow afternoon just in case things change, but if it still looks like rain on Saturday or rains all day tomorrow, we will call it officially cancelled.

 

[deserth3]

Sounds like a plan

 

[skeptic]

Ok, I'm ready to call it. Forecast still calls for rain today, tomorrow, Sunday, and possible snow for Monday. Instead of wheeling I'm going to go to the Sportsman's Expo down in SLC tomorrow.

 

[deserth3]

That's cool with me.
Next week end I can go would be the 31st of March. Then I have 4 weekends off in a row.
