Okay, here's a one-hour-old observation:
Nancy and I just got back to Wendover from our weekend campout with her boys (in southern Utah), and before we got into town we drove to Land's End to scope out the situation. During the last twenty or so miles from SLC we saw quite a bit of evidence of the recent rains -- and off the side of the road to Land's End showed that it had been wet, too.
So we got to the end of the pavement and saw a bit of standing water in most directions. Not a heck of a lot -- and it appeared to go no more than a few hundred yards towards the racing area. I'd guess the water isn't more than a few inches deep, and it does not cover 100% of the ground -- a bit of weaving around with the truck and we'd be able to stay out of the puddles.
Bob Bakker (bak189) saw us there and came up to shake hands and chat for a minute, and he reports that the water we could see -- is all there is. There race courses, he reports, are fine. Note I said "courses" -- I understand from that plural that there's a long and a short course for the Bub's event this year.
We did not choose to drive out onto the salt today -- 'cause we're pretty-well toasted from camping at 10,000 feet near Wheeler Peak at Great Basin Nat'l Park - and a shower sure sounds good (but not that you're getting this report before I clean up. Talk about putting the site, and you folks, before just about everything!). But we'll be going out there tomorrow morning to get close up and give you some first-hand reports on what's what. We saw more than a few race bikes headed towards Wendover -- trailers, back of pickups, and a bunch that I will assume are going to be "Run Whatcha Brung" entries.
So come on out, folks, and have another fun event at Bonneville. See you tomorrow.
