Today we ventured out to the salt to check conditions. Dennis, Gary, Lloyd and myself set out this morning on our road trip. It rained late yesterday and we were a bit apprehensive about what me might find. When we arrived at the end of the access road, there were quite a few tourists there.
We found some standing water puddles, but not near what I expected. We did not drive out on the surface. It was obvious the salt would just make a mess of the underside of the truck. We could not see any extensive standing water from the end of the road.
We then drove up to the radio towers on the top of the mountain. From that vantage point, we could see nice white salt virtually all the way to floating mountain. There is no standing water at the far end of the courses.
The weather here is projected to be in the mid to high 80's all the way through next Sunday. Our consensus is that we are very encouraged by what we saw. Of course it always depends on what Mother Nature has in store.
That said, as of now, we only have 30 entries committed for the Test and Tune. That means we need another 45 to make it happen. Only two weeks before the cut off date, June 1st. Get your entry in now.
