My recommendation- Heil gasses up the Fraggin' Wagon and we head to Boise.

IdahoReefs is having their Reef Tour on Saturday April 8th (so I'm told) and I'm looking forward to another large group of us heading up there.

I might be interested. I'll have to check with the boss, and make sure we're not doing anything that day.

I'd love to go, but I'll have to see what work is like at that time.  Count me in unless you hear otherwise.

Can't they hold it couple weeks later?  Adam, see what they think.

Are you sure your excursions will make it there? After all, ford circles everything that's wrong with it.

David,

Last year we arrived in Boise about 10 or 11 am. But, we didn't get back to Utah until late on Saturday. Its a long day - but well worth it.

that's cool/ I don't have to work till monday night again. So i would just have to be back by 6 sunday morning so i could reset my hours. I'll have to ask my boss first though and mank sure it's okay

JAKE-
well I hate to do this, but I may give up shotgun.  I really need to discuss some things with Dave Tea.  So if he makes the trip, I'll forgo the shotgun and you can take it.

Deanna-
Are you coming?  Mar wants to know.

Last I looked at their web page, I didn't see anything advertising it.  Are you positive it's the 8th?  If not, be sure to bring addresses of some of the Boise members so we can drop in and "Suprise" them.

Can you imagine both pulling up to the same house totally unexpected?

 

I am looking forward to the trip.  Sounds like a LOT of fun.  My wife might have to work, so shotgun may be available.

What time should we leave?  I am assuming it is a caravan.  So, where are we going to meet?

If we don't have enough to fill two, then I will ride along with Shawn.

I don't need shotgun, but I do need 2nd row, by a window.

Sorry guys (and Gals,) as much as I would love to come I just won't be able to make it that day.  It's going to be all I can do to make Thursday night.  I hope you all have a blast.  Drive Careful.

I'll take shotgun if you need me too.  Anything for you!

That's funny. Riding shotgun means being turned sideways in the seat in order to be involved in every conversation. These fishy conversations are some of the most fun I have ever had in the hobby. I missed last year. I can't think of anything getting in the way this year.

Shawn,

I can't drive! I had a bit of an accident with the wife's mini van yesterday! So, she will need the X to shuttle kids to dance and soccer on Saturday.

So, what the final count?

As near as I can tell:

Adam Blundell (Marzena?)
Danny McDonald (Maybe)
Jon Finch and Son
Shane Heil
Will Spencer (Probably)
Shane/Deanna Silcox (Probably)
Jake Pehrson
David DeCaro (Meet us there, then ride back)
Mark Peterson
Shawn Winterbottom

OKAY-
So here is the deal.  I need a ride (and my wife is only 50%) to Brigham City to Dave Tea's house.  That is the plan.  We are meeting at Dave Tea's house in Brigham (Shane please post directions) on Saturday morning (Shane please post a time). 
Since I am willing to trade my shotgun seat for a "next to Dave seat" I'm planning to ride in whatever car has Dave. 

So Shawn- I live right off the freeway in Bountiful.  I'll PM you my info.  That is unless Jake or Silcox drives to Brigham, since they know where I live I'll just have them swing by.
Who else is driving, and where is everyone meeting?

Hey neighbor, would you mind riding with me? I owe Dave Tea a few bucks so I'm hoping he will ride with me so I can repay him. You and Marzena could even ride shotgun.

That should work fine.  I know Shawn is already planning to pick me up.  I guess it doesn't matter much either way. 
After we all meet up in Brigham I'll probably lose my wife to whichever car has Deanna.

Meeting at Dave Tea's house (Brigham city) at 6:00am?  I will be leaving my house (Sandy) at 5:00am.  If anyone wants to ride up there with me, please call me to reserve a seat.

You can reach me on my cell at 554-7123

Shawn, I'm planning to hitch a ride with you.  I'm coming from American Fork.  Don't you live near 90th (and way east)?  Shane S. lives off 90th, Jake lives off 54th.  If Shane/Jake are planning to jump in with you let's meet somewhere close to the freeway just before 5am.  I could do the Lowe's at 90th south?  Or anywhere else...

Reminder -

I've got 2nd row by a window in Shawn's X.


Dave Tea's at 6:00 am

From I-15
Take the 9th North Exit (3rd Brigham City Exit)
Head East until you get to Main Street
Turn left onto Main
Drive approximately 2 miles due north
Dave's house is on the east side of the highway. There is a small lane directly across from a very large house. This is what I use as a landmark.
Dave's address is:1654 N. Hwy 38 (Main Street becomes Hwy 38 as you exit Brigham City to the north)

Call me when you get close. (435) 720-2599

I would give the Boise trip a solid 8. But with the great company and awesome Chinese buffet, I have to raise the whole experience to a 9!

Thanks to Shawn for driving and to Scott for the great Idaho grape frags!
