Fairview Run June 19
This circuit was a favorite in the early days of the club, but somehow
became forgotten. We'll be renewing this fine tradition with an outing
on Saturday June 19 through to Fairview and the Scofield Reservoir. The
roads in that part of paradise were designed with our cars in mind --
rolling hills, good surfaces, and little traffic.
We'll start with the same route as the Highland Games trip -- rendezvous
at South Towne Mall on 106th S. in Sandy, and then south on State Street
and the Pony Express and Thanksgiving Point frontage roads, to pick up
US-89 in Lehi. Then we'll parade down Utah's Main Street (US-89)
through Pleasant Grove, Lindon, Orem, Provo, and Springville to US-6 in
Spanish Fork. Altogether, it will be about 45 miles of freeway-free
cruising, and is expected to take a little over an hour on a Saturday
morning. U-89 then follows US-6 up to the Manti turnoff, where the fun
begins.
Lunch will be in Fairview, which is a pleasant little town with a
terrific diner, the Home Plate Cafe. Then we'll transit up Fairview
Canyon on U-31, U-264, and U-96 through Scofield to rejoin US-6 at
Colton, just east of Soldier's Summit. Or, by popular demand, we may
just do an about face for a return run to Fairview and home.
All in all, it should be a delightful day. Just fill your tank, pack
some sunscreen and a lunch if you don't want to forage at Fairview, and
come to South Towne Mall at 9am for a 9:30 departure.
