Next year if you are on your way to B'ville and drive through SE Utah, as I know some of you do I just wanted to extend an invitation to stop and spend a day with some other car guys. For the past couple years I've had friends come into my town, Blanding, Ut, and spend a day going out in the area and then all of us drive up to B'ville together. So if any of you would like to join us we would be glad to have you. I know some of you guys do come through this area. The following is a post I posted on
RODDERS ROUND TABLE where I have a number of friends. I'll just copy it and post it here if you don't mind.
----------------------------------
Ok guys B'ville is only about 7 months away and I wanted to offer up an invitation to any
of you that would like to join some of us first here in Blanding and then for the trip up to
B'ville.
Hooley is going racing again with the Stude this next year and he and his wife and John
(WZJUNK) and his wife are going to come out and spend a few days in the area before
the wives drive home and the rest of us head for B'ville.
The plan is to get into Blanding by Tuesday night (9th of Aug.). Wed I'll take any of you
that are here out to an Anasazi Ruin in the morning before it gets real hot. After that we
can go out to Natural Bridges National Monument and eat lunch there or before we get
there (take sack lunches). From there we can sight-see a little more and then all go to
dinner together or do a BBQ at the house.
I've picked out a ruin that won't be a real challange to get to if you are having some health
problems. We can drive any vehicle to within 1/4 mile of it and then it is just a walk down
a dirt road to the site. We can also take my jeep and any other high ground clearace
vehicles all the way to it and that would take care of anyone who has a problem walking.
The site is situated at the head of a really pretty canyon with unrestored towers around the
top and then on various levels down into the canyon there are cliff dwellings.
You can enjoy the view from the top or climb down to the various levels of cliff dwellings.
There are also some nice petroglyphs there. All in all this is a nice site and I think you will
enjoy it and it won't kill you to get to it.
We have to get to B'ville Thursday night so we can set up the pits on Friday morning and
get the car through inspection, so we will make the drive from Blanding up to the Salt on
Thursday. We will have the day so I plan on stopping at Bo Huff's again this year. For
those of you who have been there I'm sure you will enjoy a return visit as something new
is usually always going on there. For those of you who haven't been to Bo's you will be in
for a real treat.
Going to Bo's is stepping back into time and I've had a few people tell me that was the
highlight of their trip to B'ville.

Pictures of Bo's Car Show Here After spending a couple hours there we will continue up to B'ville getting in there
Thursday night.
So if any of you are interested in joining us please let me know and make some plans to
have a good time. If you go to the Nats. you have 2 1/2 days to get to Blanding (by Tues.
night), so this will give you something to do between the Nats. and Bville.
I'll post all of this again later in the spring and again about June/July. If you are planning
on doing this let me know so I have some idea how many of you will be here.
c ya, Sum
