List;
I'm looking for a littele info and recommendations. Never having been to
Bonneville before, I'm woefully ignorant about some ordinary things there.
For example, how close to the pits, etc can I park an RV--
not for overnight, just to come out from Wendover as a spectator ?
PARK RIGHT NEXT TO THE PIT ROPES AND YOU CAN WALK IN. -A LOT OF WALKING
HOWEVER. OFTEN THE PITS ARE 4 LANES WIDE x ALMOST A MILE LONG!
BETTER -TRY- TO COME UP WITH A FOLDABLE, TRANSPORTABLE BYCYCLE -OR....
WHAT ABOUT MAYBE BUYING A CHEAP ONE WHEN YOU RENT THAT RV! WHAT MAYBE $69 ?
AFTER THE FESTIVITIES. GIVE IT TO A "LOCAL" LIKE OUR PAL WES POTTER TO KEEP
(& USE) FOR YOU ! THAT WAY "NEXT TIME" YOU GOT WHEELS!
ME,... I'M FRANTICALLY TRYING TO FINISH UP MY MINIBIKE "RESTORATION" PROJECT
!
GOT TO GET IT TO RUSS MEEKS @ FINISHLINE COATINGS ( da best in da biznezz )
SOON FOR COATING !
HI RUSS & LONA ! ;-)
Is it possible to conveniently walk to the pits, starting line, concession
stand, etc?
SURE,.. AND LATELY THERE'S PRETTY GOOD FOOD. BRING -PLENTY- OF COOL
DRINKING WATER HOWEVER. PLAN ON 1 1/2 GALLONS PER PERSON PER DAY.... AND
YOU WON'T NEED TO VISIT "THE FACILITIES" MUCH EITHER :-)
I suppose it would make sense to have a couple of bicycles there
but America West takes a dim view of those as carry-on luggage.
Thanks, Neil
OH AND PS: FOR A LOT OF NIGHTTIME FUN "CAMP" AT "THE END OF THE ROAD"
(ACTUALLY ITS AT THE -BEND- IN THE ROAD ON THE WAY TO THE SALT...) :-)
