Salt Lake City, Utah Meet and More

[kodiak]

South Towne mall? It’s easy to find and there’s lots of options for lunch.

[Todd Adams]

Perfect! Todd, Since you know the trail and such... what time do you think we should meet up that allows us to get to a good camp spot at a good time?

OK I thought that Linda and I were going to camp out at Granite Flats but that is out now since I have to catch a plane on Sunday. Anyway for those that are not camping out we will meet at Tibble Fork Parking are at 8:30am on Saturday July 19th. Those that are camping out, we will meet at Dutchman Mine camping parking lot at 9:15am and leave there at 9:30. We should have time to do more than one trail. Forrest Lake first and then either Miller Hill or Mineral Basin trail after. We will at least go to the "Rock Garden" on the Mineral Basin trail.
Directions are as follows. American Fork Canyon which is the Alpine exit on I-15 just south of the point of the mountain. It is also the exit for Thanksgiving Point and Cabellas. There will be an entrace fee when entering the canyon. Go up past Timpanogos Cave and make the left turn up the North Fork to Tibble Fork.

I'll be there... A bit early for me, so bear with me if I'm a bit sleepy

Thanks again Todd!! were it not for you I probably wouldn't be able to make it.

Brittany, Me, my brother and his H3, possibly a Buddy with a 4 Runner.

Is anyone camping anymore? Doesn't look like I will be

[kodiak]

I’ll be there! I had my VX inspected yesterday, I’m getting a not ready code on my computer? I removed my battery and cleaned it before the inspection. I need to drive around a little to clear the code. Then I’ll head back and get my sticker. My sister’s boyfriend is proposing to my sis at a barbeque at noon. So I won’t be able to head up the trail with you. My future brother in law owes me one!

[kodiak]

I had a really good time at breakfast yesterday, sorry I couldn’t do the trails with you. Did the H3 keep up with you OK?

[taylorRichie]

It was a lot of fun... and nice meeting you... Too bad they didn't have a larger booth

Trail was pretty good... Definitely good learning for me No issues and only a couple times where I needed a spot... (amateur).

H3 did just fine... Once Justin (my brother) put it in 4 Lo, he was doing the trail in 4 high for a while and actually making it up a few challenging obstacles.

Todd Showed us how beneficial his front ARB is by going up a tough part of the Rock garden to mineral basin. Then Justin (zeus) did it with his open diffs. Took a few tries and some strategic rock stacking but he made it... And that was the "toughest" part of the rock garden. Neither me or my brother (H3) tried the Obstacle though.

Hindsight, probably should have.

Might join the U4WDA on August 2nd and go for mineral basin. Not totally decided.

All in all, good ride, not too scary and a good pay off (forest lake). Got alot of stares, inquiries (what is that?) and a few compliments.

Thanks again Todd!

About 400 miles. That would be an expencive cab ride.

[taylorRichie]

You'd be better off renting a car for $30/day and driving it out... 6 hours or so

Torn CV Boot, found it today I'm trying to get parts, and time to replace it before the meet... Very very very bummed today

[kodiak]

That sucks! CV boot replacement should be part of the suspension lift process. It’s seems to happen a lot right after a lift.
